"The Riddle" is a b-side to Delta Goodrem's single A Little Too Late & the Mistaken Identity album. A whimsical song about her image management and her personality
Lyrics:
Day turns to night
Then night turns to day
In the blink of an eye it's the next year
Snowflake on my eyelash
It's cold and I know why
I question everything
I am transfixed on the star sky above
And unlike Mars it's the reason why I'm here
Which I am there when it doesn't appear
Chorus
Call me strange call me straight
Call me anything you like
I'm the door and I can turn
Like the seconds on the clock
It's the light it is the rain
It's the reason I'm missing
It's the riddle in my call
I'm not what you think at all
Not at all
Tip toe with diplomatic words
Am I not exposed
For my wild child suppressed
Tick tock my days go
Tick tock with every passing cloud
A different shape, an apple tree
Maybe?
Chorus:
Call me strange call me straight
Call me anything you like
I'm the door and I can turn
Like the seconds on the clock
It's the light it is the rain
It's the reason I'm missing
It's the riddle in my call
I'm not what you think at all
(Musical Instrumental)
Storybooks and dark angels sing
These blurry shapes in my magic land
Chorus
