Illusion - Scott McKenzie

Illusion was the name

Of every single game

Now they’ve all disappeared from my view

Yes they’ve all disappeared as my time does grow near

But I hope that I’ll remember you

For when it all melts away

It was never meant to stay

and I need you just to carry me back home

All of the years

All of the laughter and tears

How it seemed they were traded in vain

But somehow I know

There’s a place where I will go

Where I’ll find all my life there contained

For when it all melts away

It was never meant to stay

And I need you just to carry me back home.

Well now old friend

Have we really reached the end

Is there nothing left for us

To say or do?

Have we shared our last cry

Have we told our last lie

And by the way

Have I forgiven you?

For when it all melts away

It was never meant to stay

And I need you just to carry me back home.

For when it all melts away

It was never meant to stay

And I need you just to carry me back home.
