Maya's Dance

(album: Donovan - 1977)

See my own reflection in the water
If I concentrate, the image still
I look kind of real just like I oughta
Be just a splash and Maya's secrets spill
Can't stop this illusion that I-DO
Giving myself burdens Mighty Grim
Let me dig and twig there's nothing TO-DO
Everything in order, evolving
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
Must be this illusion that makes ME-FEEL
All this pain and pleasure is my own
I-identify with duality
Whe I am the ONE to lead me home
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
But here I am again associating
Choosing one or the other again
While the tiny dewdrop on the blossom
Reflects my tiny image once again
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
Must be some good things to say about MAN
But one of them ain't that he's Aware
Alice had it right when she stepped over
Into Mirror land, the Truth is there
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
