This Masquerade
(Leon Russell)

Are we really happy here, with this lonely game we play,
Looking for words, to say?
Searching but not finding, understanding anyway,
We're lost in a masquerade.

Both afraid to say we're just too 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 leaving disappear, ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reason that we carry on this way,
We're lost in a masquerade.

(Solo Piano)

Both afraid to say we're just too 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 leaving disappear, ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reason that we carry on this way,
We're lost in a masquerade.

We're lost in a masquerade.
