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'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
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

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
