Brilliant Disguise Lyrics

Song Text:

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
