Mirages on Projector Screens Lyrics

There's a dark red shirt you wore when we first met

It hung loose around your shoulders and obscured your silhouette

I've got a picture of you wearing it with me

I hate how tall I look but you're as happy as can be

The inside jokes and rumors, false and true

You would reprimand while laughing 'cause you know you thought it too

You're like a half-heard tune, or a daylight moon

The flavor of salt in the wind

A road I used to know, a dream from long ago

The name of a forgotten friend

Your story did not end with me, but I

I cataloged the most important scenes

Mirages on projector screens

We conspired a plan to travel through the west

For two summers I saved tips inside my Oldsmobile's armrest

I never locked the doors, and someone stole it all

Of course by then, the loss was just as well - a fitting curtain call

You're like a half-heard tune, or a daylight moon

The flavor of salt in the wind

A road I used to know, a dream from long ago

The name of a forgotten friend

Your story did not end with me, but I

I cataloged the most important scenes

Mirages on projector screens

There's a yearbook page you filled with a goodbye

It was meant for a little while, but it stood the test of time

Now all that wore us down has worn away

Still I sift through gift shop souvenirs to see how they spell your name

You're like a half-heard tune, or a daylight moon

The flavor of salt in the wind

A road I used to know, a dream from long ago

The name of a forgotten friend

Your story did not end with me, but I

I cataloged the most important scenes

Mirages on projector screens

You're like a half-heard tune, or a daylight moon

The flavor of salt in the wind

A road I used to know, a dream from long ago

The name of a forgotten friend

Your story did not end with me, but I

I cataloged the most important scenes
