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'll play the faithful man

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

Oh, 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
