James Dickey - A World of Lies lyrics

As I went through some of the story that Bobby and I had rehearsed on the river, I made a point to try to visualize the things I was saying as though they had really happened. I could see us searching for Drew, though we never had. I saw these things happen at the place near the yellow tree, and for me they were happening as I talked; it was hard to realize that they had not taken place in the actual world; as I saw him taking into account, they became part of a world, the believed world, the world of recorded events, of history.
