"Mirage"
(Richie Cordell)
Intro:
(cellos [eighth notes] w/trash organ & harp):
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways (wait a second!)
You're gone now
I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorways
And oh how
Hard it is to live without you, I loved everything about you
Now I know you're really gone, but my imagination
Is so strong
Pre-chorus:
[1: That 2: Then] I see you comin' into view
And your face is tellin' me
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it finally died [1: (wait a second!)
2: (here it comes again!)]
Chorus:
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see
Verse 2:
So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you
I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways
The car, too
How it all comes back to me, the movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat, I want so much to have it
Like it used to be
[repeat pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
2-bar break (backward cymbals)
Coda [repeat to fade; LP mix omits backing vocals]:
Just a mirage, (just a mirage) that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, (just a mirage) something that I only see
