Joe Dolan Brilliant Disguise song lyrics
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 want to read your mind
and know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what do 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 what do 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 when it all falls apart
woh 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 play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
into the palm of my hand
Oh we stood at the altar
the gypsy swore our future was bright
But come the wee wee hours
well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me baby
you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby?
or just a brilliant disguise?
Tonight our bed is cold
lost in the darkness of love
God have mercy on the man
who doubts what he's sure of
