This Masquerade

Music & lyrics by Leon Russell 1976

--------------------------------------------------------------

Are we really happy

With this lonely game we play?

Looking for words to say

 

Searching but not finding

Understanding anywhere

We're lost in this masquerade

 

Both afraid to say

We're just to far away

From being close together

From the start

 

We tried to talk it over

But the words got in the way

We're lost inside

This lonely game we play

 

Thoughts of weeping

Disappear every time

I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try

 

To understand the reasons

That we carry on this way

We're lost in a masquerade

 

We could just start over

But it's oh so, hard to do

When you're lost in a masquerade

Done
