This Masquerade - Live At The Palladium, London / 1978

Hope you're all comfortable and relaxed
Here I see it arrive that the lights in my eyes
Let me take a look around
Oh, you look nice
Ah, got a lot of songs for you tonight
Old songs, new songs
Some songs I wrote
Some songs I din;t write
Like to start off with a couple of old songs
I didn't write
But me and my soul did

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?
Looking for the right 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 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 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 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 a masquerade
