Mirage

Roaming these frenetic streets
Parades of people, but
Not a soul to say "Hi"
This day is gray and cold
Not a single ray from the sky
And then I see a familiar light
A silhouette I became so fond
Coming to me like a barrage
Is that you
Or is it just a mirage

A girl just passed by, she had your eyes
On another one I see your smile
Every one of them has something
Some little thing that reminds me of you
So I take all that I can buy
From those fragments I'm making a collage
Is that you
Or is it just a mirage

Is this the way it’s supposed to be
Or is it some alternate reality
My mind's playing tricks on me

A heart sees what it wants to see
The last thing I told you was "Bon voyage"
You were right here by my side
Or was that another mirage

A dream is the only way, I know
The only chance I could see you tonight
But just in case, I'll leave the door ajar
And I'll arrange for you the most beautiful corsage
Cause when you're in the middle of nowhere
All you need to keep you going
Is just a mirage
