lyrics

The window looked out into a pattern never-ending

A flower and trees and little pathways far descending


To the garden far below us, the pavilions in the sunlight

Where the peacocks proudly grace the scene



The vision a timeless place another way of living

You moved in so close I really thought that you were giving

I allowed myself a moment to believe that you could leave me

To reflect upon what might have been



The summer sky I saw reflected in the color of your eyes

But somehow I could never peel away the layers of disguise

I'm drowning now I'm slowly sinking in a sea of blue and green

Where what you are is never seen, how can anybody know you



I still hear the ringing of the church bells in the morning

The peacocks still calling out their sad and bitter warning

Beauty is only an illusion here your true is an intrusion

A mirage is all it's ever been



The summer sky I saw reflected in the color of your eyes

But somehow I could never peel away the layers of disguise

I'm drowning now I'm slowly sinking in a sea of blue and green

Where what you are is never seen, how can anybody know you



I still hear the ringing of the church bell in the morning

The peacocks still calling out their sad and bitter warning

Take a final look around you

Hold the memory forever

Find a quiet place inside where

You can listen to what all your heart is saying

Beauty's only an illusion here your truth is an intrusion

A mirage is all it's ever been
