Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant disguise ------------------------------------------ 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 Iīve got in this new thing Iīve 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 Iīve tried so hard baby but I just canīt 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 Iīm just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth I want to know if itīs you I donīt trust īcause I damn sure donīt trust myself Now you play the loving woman Iīll play the faithful man But just donīt 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 Iīm lost in the darkness of our love God have mercy on the man Who doubts what heīs sure of
