From the recording a Phoenix Rises
Lyrics
A Grand Illusion
She lay all alone
The scent of gardenias drifted
Took her back in time
Sweet memories in her mind
Languid days
Gentle Breeze
New romance
All consuming
Love in kind
At the time
An epic
Ballad blooming
B
Funny how the years
Fade the blush of love away
It seemed so perfect
Impossible to stay
C
Lost in the magic
Caught in the spell
Loves grand illusion
Where dreamers dwell
A2
She heard songs that played
Such feeling and passion
She felt soft to touch
Beneath her lovers hand
She would fall,
Lose it all
Let it go
In wild abandon
You live once,
She proclaimed
Reciting her
Personal canon
B
Funny how the years
Fade the blush of love away
It seemed so perfect
Impossible to stay
C
Lost in the magic
Caught in the spell
Loves grand illusion
Where dreamers dwell
A3
She would yearn for more
Of his earnest declarations
She believed her heart
Would be fine, not torn apart
All the same
Everything changed
Not considering
Such a conclusion
At the time
It felt fine
Yet it was
A Grand Illusion
B
Funny how the years
Fade the blush of love away
It seemed so perfect
Impossible to stay
C
Lost in the magic
Caught in the spell
Loves grand illusion
Where dreamers dwell
Outro:
In the end
It was all
A grand illusion
A Grand Illusion
She lay all alone
The scent of gardenias drifted
Took her back in time
Sweet memories in her mind
Languid days
Gentle Breeze
New romance
All consuming
Love in kind
At the time
An epic
Ballad blooming
B
Funny how the years
Fade the blush of love away
It seemed so perfect
Impossible to stay
C
Lost in the magic
Caught in the spell
Loves grand illusion
Where dreamers dwell
A2
She heard songs that played
Such feeling and passion
She felt soft to touch
Beneath her lovers hand
She would fall,
Lose it all
Let it go
In wild abandon
You live once,
She proclaimed
Reciting her
Personal canon

Fade the blush of love away
