Phantom Mountain Lyrics - Laura Veirs

At the top of 

Phantom Mountain 

I saw the turquoise 

Brilliant burning sea 

The sweat on my shoulders 

The silvery haze 

Swords of lightning 

Hawks and Gulf Stream 

Made me crazy, crazy

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I could not tell the truth 

I could not tell the truth 

From the mirage, from the mirage 

Yellow butterfly 

On the rocky path below 

Fluttering lifeless 

In the shimmering glow 

Of the Phantom Mountain 

Took her heartache 

Took her beautiful face 

To a distant place 

Photos 

I could not tell the truth 

I could not tell the truth 

From the mirage, from the mirage 

I could not tell the truth 

I could not tell the truth 

From the mirage, from the mirage
