You thought you found me sleeping
In a green room...
Dreaming of the planets and the stars.
You thought you heard me creeping
In a back room,
Oh but honey, it was just the sound of cars.
And now you're sure you want to leave and go to Denver...
You say that town is calling out to you ...
I say ,go on babe and make your way to Denver..
Everything's a dream...
Nothing is true.
It is only a mirage that we are seeing,
Just a lovely closing of our eyes.
Just a vision lost somewhere in nighttime...
Be careful that you never realize...
It is only a mirage out in the desert,
It is only when the moon is turning blue,
Look a door has opened up in that strange building..
Way downtown a girl thinks of you.
Well go on my darling...
Pack your bags for Denver...
I won't be sad or shed a single tear.
Cause you're not really leaving me forever,
Mirages can be real but never fear...
As you walk away from me I'll only smile...
Settle to my book and sip my wine,
Pretend you're only gone to get the paper...
This mirage is now and it is mine.
