Brilliant Disguise Lyrics

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 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

oh

when out go the lights.

I'm just a lonely pilgrim

I walk this world in wealth



I wanna know if it's you I don't trust



'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself.



Now you play the loving woman

I play the faithful man



But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand.

We stood at the altar

the gypsy swore our future was right



But come the wee wee hours

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.
