"Maya's Dance" lyrics - DONOVAN

See my own reflection in the water
If I concentrate, the image still
I look kind of real just like I oughta
But just a splash in Maya's secret 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
Feelings 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
When I am the one to lead me home

All appearances
Can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feelings 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
Feelings 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
Feelings alter views
Out of shape and out of true
All appearances
Can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feelings alter views
Out of shape and out of true
All appearances
Can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feelings alter views
Out of shape and out of true
