I heard a whisper in the wind
I saw a shimmer on the horizon
And from a distance, I could see your brilliance in the Sun
An oasis from this lonely ground

But the closer that I get, the further you become
You're only a mirage
To taunt my thirsty heart
You are a beautiful illusion, but the closer I get
You're gone, 'cause you're only a mirage
Only a mirage

So now I'm living in a draught, yeah
'Cause I got reckless pouring my heart out
When you're just a player, a masquerader on the run
They can't hurt you if you lеave by dawn

And closer that I get, thе more transparent you become
You're a mirage
To taunt my thirsty heart
You are a beautiful illusion, but the closer I get, you're gone
'Cause you're only a mirage, yeah, mmm
