FATA MORGANA song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

there just above the horizon
a ship sailed up in the air
and standing next to the railing
was a woman with golden hair

although I barely could see her
in my mind she was clear as a star
so dear so near to my heart
and so far so impossibly far

the sailors said Fata Morgana
just a trick of the cruelhearted sea
like the Dutchman or Land of the Crocker
it looks real but it never will be

Fata Morgana Fata Morgana
an illusion of Morgan Le Fay
Fata Morgana Fata Morgana
a ruse to lead you astray

like oasis out on the desert
that you never or ever will find
the image of Fata Morgana
is just a cruel joke of the mind

as she flew on the edge of the heavens
then suddenly she disappeared
the whole ship and its sails and its crewman
and the sky was suddenly clear

then I knew that the Fata Morgana
was something I only could feel
and no matter how much I might search
just a memory of what was real

so many years
so many tears
so many long forgotten fears
so many promises
so many lies
so many days living in disguise

Fata Morgana Fata Morgana
an illusion of Morgan Le Fay
Fata Morgana Fata Morgana
just a ruse to lead me astray
