Now we fall in that vein of gold
In the hourglass of our love.
We lose our ground as the world around
Comes raining down from above.
Down to the place
Where our love has gone
And longing will fade at last,
Soft on the mound of fallen time
Where our love is a memory past.

Oh my love...
We are mirages, in the hourglass.
Oh mirages, now fading fast.
Mirages, in a world of love
Shifting through the hourglass.

On that mound of the fallen time
In the hourglass of our love,
I hold your hand as the golden sands
Rain down on us from above
And while you hope
That I’ll understand
And mellow with the moon,
You hold your heart illusion bound
While I am a lover marooned.

Oh my love...
We are mirages, in the hourglass.
Oh mirages, now fading fast.
Mirages, in a world of love
Shifting through the hourglass.

I yearned for love, I prayed that love
Would soften a way to my heart.
To turn the sun where the shadows run
And banish the cold and the dark.
Yet all I am
Is a faint mirage
Fashioned in light of your dream;
Longing to love, and longing to leave,
Held forever by the walls unseen.
Held forever by the walls unseen.
