I hold you in my ar ms
As the band plays
Wh at are th ose words whispered baby
Ju st a s you tu rn away
I saw you last night
Ou t on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind
To know ju st what I've got in
Th is new thing I've found
So tell m e w hat I see
Whe n I l ook in y our eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a br illi ant disguise
I heard som ebody cal l your name
Fr om undern eath our wil low
I saw somet hing tuck ed in shame
Un der neath you r pillow
We ll I 've trie d so hard baby
Bu t I just can't se e
Wh at a woma n like y ou
Is do ing with me
So tell m e w ho I see
Whe n I l ook in y our eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a br illi ant disguise
No w l ook at me baby
S trug gling t o do everything right
An d th en it al l falls apart
Wh en out go th e lights
I' m ju st a lon ely pilgrim
I w alk this world in wealth
I wann a know if it's you I don't trust
'Cau se I damn sure don't trust myself
N ow y ou play the loving woman
I' ll play t he faithf ul man
Bu t just do n't look too close
In to t he palm of my hand
We sto od at th e altar
Th e gy psy swor e our fut ure was right
Bu t come the wee wee hours
Well may be baby th e gypsy lied
So when y ou look at me
You be tter l ook har d and look twice
Is that me baby
Or just a br illi ant disguise
To night our bed is cold
I' m lo st in th e darknes s of our love
Go d have me rcy on th e man
Who dou bts what he's sure of
