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 want to 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 Oh, 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 Oh, we stood at the altar The gypsy swore our future was bright 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
