Fata Morgana

walking at sunset kicking up the sand

the ocean rolling over tides hand

so many long hours now have past

i see your memories in a bright green flash

life stories disappearing like a fata morgana

was it all a mirage just a trick of the retina

and then the sun sets on just another day

fading away as we all must do some day

 

holding tight to the memories so free

speak to the fairies of the salt sea

i repeat your name then say it out loud

tell all my precious stories of time spent with you

 

sailing blue under mountains morning dew

i will be a glorious vision one day too

vanishing in the twinkling of an all seeing eye

you returned to me in a glimpse up on high

shadows cast floating in a castle of fata morgana

we have all seen the same sweet fading nirvana

your eyes flashed lovingly blue from crocker mountain

carried away on the flying ghost ship towards life’s fountain

 

holding tight to the memories so free

speak to the fairies of the salt sea

i repeat your name then say it out loud

tell all my precious stories of time spent with you

 

keeping my body and soul together

hope growing long in the teeth

pulling into port meeting soon again

in the castle of fata morgana

 

holding tight to the memories so free

speak to the fairies of the salt sea

i repeat your name then say it out loud

tell all my precious stories of time spent with you

to have known you i am ever so proud

 

 

like a fata morgana

walking at sunset,

kicking up the sand,

the ocean rolling,

over tides hand.

 

many long hours past,

i see your memories,

in a bright green flash,

life stories disappearing,

like a fata morgana.

 

was it all a mirage,

just a trick of the retina,

then the sun sets,

another day fading away,

as we all must do some day.

 

body and soul together,

sailing ocean blue,

under mountains morning dew,

long in the tooth, white as a feather,

i will be a glorious vision, soon one day too.

 

vanishing in the twinkling of an eye,

you returned to me,

in a glimpse from on high,

shadows cast floating,

in the castle of fata morgana.

 

we have all seen,

the same sweet fading nirvana,

your eyes flashed lovingly,

blue from crocker mountain,

carried away on the flying ghost ship,

towards life’s fountain.

 

holding tight to the memories so free,

speak to the fairies of the salt sea,

i repeat your name then say it out loud,

tell all my precious stories of time spent with you,

to have known you i am ever so proud.
