Brilliant Disguise

Thompson Square

I hold you in my arms

As the band plays

What are those words whispered, baby

As you walk away

I saw you last night

Out on the edge of town,

I want to read your mind

And know just what I got in this new thing I've found,

So tell me who 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 tried so hard baby,

But I just can't see

What a woman like you, is don't with me,

So tell me who I see,

When I look in your eyes

Is that you baby,

Or just a brilliant disguise

Well now look at me baby

Struggling to do everything right

And then it all falls apart

Oh when I call the lights

I'm just a lonely pilgrim

I walk this world in well

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

Cause I damn sure don't trust my self,

You play the loving woman

I be the faithful man,

But just don't look to close

Into the palm of my hand

We stood at the alter

The gypsy swore our future was bright,

Become the wee wee hours

Baby baby the gypsy lied

So when you look at me

Better look hard and look twice

Is that me baby

Or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold

Lost in a darkness of our love,

God have mercy on a man

Who doubts what he's sure of.
