Title:
“Midnight Mirage”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Am | G | D | Am
Sitting on the edge of the Big Bend,
Sipping on the wisdom that the night sends,
Underneath the stars, we’re just grains of sand,
Lost in the puzzle of this vast land.
[Verse 2]
C | G | D | Am
Walking on the path that the moon lights,
Chasing the echoes of the desert nights,
The wind whispers secrets in our ears,
The midnight mirage is as real as our fears.
[Chorus]
C | G | D | E
Close your eyes, feel the rhythm of the sands,
Underneath the skies, we’re holding the cosmos in our hands,
We’ll dance with the ghosts in the moonlight’s trance,
In this midnight mirage, we find our chance.
[Verse 3]
Am | G | D | Am
The cactus shadow’s our sole guide,
In the heart of the desert, we confide,
The midnight mirage, our souls it brands,
In the Quixotic Tank, we make our stand.
[Chorus]
C | G | D | E
Close your eyes, feel the rhythm of the sands,
Underneath the skies, we’re holding the cosmos in our hands,
We’ll dance with the ghosts in the moonlight’s trance,
In this midnight mirage, we find our chance.
