My Stunning Mystery Companion Lyrics - Jackson Browne

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 

Photos 

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
