Leon Russell This Masquerade
From the Album "Carney" (1972)
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade.
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We try to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes,
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade.
We could just start over but it's oh so hard to do
We try to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.
We're lost in a masquerade.
And we're lost in a masquerade.
