From the recording Gold Mirage
Lyrics
The heat was high, but I stood tall
They swore you'd vanish — I saw it all
Red sky hung like a warning sign
But I kept walking, you stayed mine
They called it dust, they called it dream
Said love like that ain't what it seems
But you were fire under my skin
And I knew right where you'd been
You held me close when the thunder came
And never once forgot my name
Gold mirage, out in the haze
You held me down through winds and blaze
They said I'd wake and you'd be gone
But baby, they were dead-ass wrong
You were no mirage — you were mine
You were mine
You were no mirage — you were mine
All the time
They whispered lies behind your name
Tried to turn me cold with shame
But I saw truth in your worn-out boots
And in your kiss — no substitute
When the world tried to dim our flame
You just smiled and stayed the same
You were fire through and through
And baby, I believed in you
Gold mirage, they couldn't see
You burned your name right into me
They tried to shake what we defined
But you were solid every time
Every time
You were no mirage — you were mine
You were mine
You were no mirage — always mine
They said we'd fade, we'd break in two
But we held strong like steel and glue
Let 'em talk — they talk too much
We got the truth, and we got touch
I'd take your hand a thousand times
Walk the dust, climb the signs
If love's a fight, I'm in it deep
You're the vow I'll always keep
Gold mirage… they couldn't break
What we built wasn't fake
They saw sand, we saw sky
They called it gone — we called it why
You were no mirage — you were mine
You were no mirage — you were mine
You were no mirage — you were mine
You were mine
You were mine
