Phantom Mountain

Compositor: Laura Veirs

At the top of Phantom Mountain
I saw the turquoise brilliant burning sea
The sweat on my shoulders
The silvery haze
Swords of lightning
Hawks and Gulf Stream
Made me crazy, crazy

I could not tell the truth
I could not tell the truth
From a mirage, from a mirage

Yellow butterfly on the rocky path below
Fluttering lifeless in the shimmering glow
Of the Phantom Mountain
Took her heartache
Took her beautiful face
To a distant place

I could not tell the truth
I could not tell the truth
From a mirage, from a mirage
From a mirage, from a mirage

I could not tell the truth (x4)
From a mirage (x4)
