Masquerade

Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold this soul, and the money paid
I been hearing so long that
That's where you have gone, so I
Grab my bag and I'm on my way

The old man told me that I shouldn't go
There are things I couldn't know
Said you may be wise, but you
Haven't seen her eyes, so
I shook his hand and I hit the road

Why why why why why
Why won't the sun rise?
Why why why why why
Can't I forget your eyes?

Shadows reaching out for my heart
I keep moving on through the dark
Travel many miles, and I
Love to stop a while, but
Nothing, child, is gonna keep us apart

Why why why why why
Why won't the sun rise?
Why why why why why
Can't I forget your eyes?

Promises I made
Were made of glass
I gathered all the shards to bring to you
I lit a candle
And I prayed for forty nights
Haven't heard an answer yet
I like the silence anyway

Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold my soul and the money paid
The road is long again, and the
World is full of sin, so I
Got my gun and I'm on my way

I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
