Mirage

It's an endless plain under a blood red sunrise

All the promises you told me

Were just part of your disguise

It's an age old story I was only twenty then

And you burned like death valley

Killed our love before it could begin

I've reached the border where the

Highway turns into a dirt road

I've reached the corner of my mind

Where you're hiding white as a ghost

And im full of regret

And i stumble again

Just dust in the wind

Feeling like a drifter

Lost in the desert

I see your face i hear you name

The winds they whisper

Nowhere to follow

Like desperado

I watch your hand

Turn back to sand

And I'm left hollow

You're my mirage, oh

Maybe I'm wandering out

In circles like the vultures overhead

Thought I was following in your footsteps

But they might be mine instead

And i swear i heard you voice

Just like you sounded back in May

When you swore you'd never leave me

But i couldn't make you stay

Feeling like a drifter

Lost in the desert

I see your face i hear you name

The winds they whisper

Nowhere to follow

Like desperado

I watch your hand

Turn back to sand and I'm left hollow

It's an endless plain

Under a blood red sunrise

You're my mirage, oh

All the promises

You told me were just

Part of your disguise

It's an age old story

I was only twenty then

And you burned like death valley

Killed our love before

It could begin
