What are these words you speak

Why are they all unknown to me

You see yourself sitting naked on the sand

A dream and a memory in each hand

You mirror a mirage moving alone

You call out but it is gone

The road that brought you to me is dragging you back

The light you thought was near is fading to black

For those you burnt and those you forgave

Too late you’ve learnt you’re only a slave

The wind carries voices but there’s nobody there

The bush is burning but the mountain is bare
