Mirage lyrics

And who will weep for you, my love

When your gold is turned into rock?

And who will grow flowers there

Where the earth is turned into chalk?

I can see a statue standing there

You've turned love into stone

Will it keep you warm, my love

When your albatross has flown?

Statues can't weep and the flowers won't grow

Since they're carried away on the wind

But your magician will paint you a mask, my love

For you to hide behind

He'll give you bright costumes and speeches

He'll tell you which part to play

But will you remember your name, my love

When he's taken your dream away?

And the desert mirage before you, love

Will vanish into the sands

And the gifts that wise men bring you, love

Will crumble in your hands

You've forgotten how it feels to give

And you're frightened to receive

Are you scared to be a loser, love

Yet you destroy what you have made

So who will weep for you, my love

When your gold is turned into rock

And who can grow flowers there

When the earth is turned into chalk?

I can see a statue standing there

Where you've turned love into stone

But will it keep you warm, my love

When your albatross has flown?
