This love song Bono and The Edge wrote for Roy Orbison in 1987, which he later recorded for his "Mystery Girl" album in 1989, shortly before his death.  This is the first ever public performance of the song.  The song was rehearsed and recorded in Sun Studios, but has never been released.  Live, the song is performed with B.B. King's horn section and back up singers adding harmony.

She's A Mystery To Me 

Darkness fall and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where time just slips away
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell
I'm left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cuts like switchablade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears against my bleeding heart
I want to run, she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
