Phantom Mountain - 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 the mirage, from the 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 the mirage, from the mirage

From the mirage, from the mirage

I could not tell the truth, I could not tell the truth

I could not tell the truth, I could not tell the truth

From the mirage, from the mirage

From the mirage, from the mirage
