Versuri 09. Brilliant Disguise

I hold you in my arms  
as the band plays  
What are those words whispered baby  
just as you turn away  
I saw you last night  
out on the edge of town  
I wanna read your mind  
To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found  
So tell me what I see  
when I look in your eyes  
Is that you baby  
or just a brilliant disguise  
 
I heard somebody call your name  
from underneath our willow  
I saw something tucked in shame  
underneath your pillow  
Well I've tried so hard baby  
but I just can't see  
What a woman like you  
is doing with me  
So tell me who I see  
when I look in your eyes  
Is that you baby  
or just a brilliant disguise  
 
Now look at me baby  
struggling to do everything right  
And then it all falls apart  
when out go the lights  
I'm just a lonely pilgrim  
I walk this world in wealth  
I want to know if it's you I don't trust  
'cause I damn sure don't trust myself  
 
Now you play the loving woman  
I'll play the faithful man  
But just don't look too close  
into the palm of my hand  
We stood at the alter  
the gypsy swore our future was right  
But come the wee wee hours  
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied  
So when you look at me  
you better look hard and look twice  
Is that me baby  
or just a brilliant disguise  
 
Tonight our bed is cold  
I'm lost in the darkness of our love  
God have mercy on the man  
Who doubts what he's sure of
