What with all my expectations long abandoned   And a future I no longer saw my hand in   How I found you is beyond my understanding   My stunning mystery companion      I know that you don't want to be   Out here forever on this road   Or live among the boxes   Where all my past lives have been stowed      Maybe, you're thinking of someplace   With a garden by the sea   Where we could slow down   And you could put a little more work in on me      What with all my expectations long abandoned   My solitary nature notwithstanding   You're the one who pulled me out of that crash landing   My stunning mystery companion      Right now I can't quite remember   The 'cause of all my tears   I hear you laughing and somehow   The past just disappears      Maybe you were joking when you said   You'd take me for ten years and no more   Maybe you've had the best of me   But you could take another ten years and be sure      What with all my expectations long abandoned   And a life that just gets more and more demanding   There's no doubt that you're the reason I'm still standing   My stunning mystery companion
