A long journey across the desert, with a trusty camel- but does the rider and camel make it all the way across?

Story behind the song
This song just evolved into what it is.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Harsh is how the scortching sun has been
Got a gnarly brown camel
to take me cross the desert sands
But the path is long and very dangerous
Must pay attention and ration water carefully
Chorus:
And then I saw them
Softly they danced around me
Bare foot they twirled around me
Skirts swirling round and round
Their eyes were longing
Softly they danced around me
Bare foot they twirled around me
Skirts swirling round and round
My heart desiring
Softly they danced around me
Bare foot they twirled around me
Skirts swirling round and round
I thought it was... real.
Verse 2:
But it was to be a mirage
But I still got some water
To keep me going on my way
My camel is plodding to the other side
Must not close my eyes
To get where I must safely go
(chorus)
Verse 3:
But it was to be a mirage
Now I got no more water
To keep me going on my way
My camel is limping to the other side
Buzzard is watching hoping to get a piece of me
(chorus)
I saw them dancing
(chorus)
