A Mirage (song)

Is it all a mirage
at the end of the day?
It was pretty convincing
when she danced that way.

she laughed as she said
"I'm not even a good Buddhist,
I never got that
letting go thing.
You see, that would mean
I'd have to trust,
somethingI don't do.
Is it all a mirage anyway?"

She laughed as she said,
"I never said 'do as I do'
you really should do as I say."

Is it all a mirage
at the end of the day?
It's the best we can do,
to find our heart's way.

He waltzed her around
on that sparkling marbled floor
and she said,
"I'm always looking for the door."

What happened next took her
by surprise . . .
he pulled her close,
tears welled in her eyes.

"I won't let you leave
unless that's what you want,
you'll just have to trust me,"
and then her breath caught.

is it all a mirage anyway
anyway
is it all a beautiful mirage?

she laughed as she said
"I'm not even a good Buddhist,
I never got that letting go thing."
