Текст песни This Masquerade - Leon Russell

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 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 every 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 the masquerade.

**instrumental**

We could just start over, but it's oh, so hard to do
When you′re lost in the masquerade.
