Illusion/Masquerade |
| In a forest known as heartbreak |
| In a clearing in the wood |
| 'cross a pathway called confusion |
| Toward the garden of delight |
| You’ll reach the river of desire |
| And meekly try and cross it |
| While the valley of love |
| Keeps avoiding you because it’s |
| Only an illusion |
| Only an illusion |
| Upon the hill of high ideals |
| You begin to wonder if it’s real |
| You are reaching sleep’s oasis |
| You begin to wonder how you feel |
| But it happens so quickly |
| It doesn’t fit into your scenes |
| Tossin' and turnin' |
| The star of so many scenes |
| It’s only an illusion |
| It’s only an illusion |
| --- Masquerade --- |
| A masquerade of dancing shadows |
| Appear before me |
| Through my mystic window |
| And soon to be seen |
| I saw presented |
| Became a vision that |
| I saw resented |
| I stood and watched |
| Its image changing |
| The unseen hand was rearranging |
| And all the time i wondered |
| How did it wind |
| Slowly, surely it unfolded |
| Its simple lines just as |
| A pole wind told it |
| A temporary revolution |
| My problems rose and fell |
| With a lapse of illusion |
| My mind was telling me, don’t fight it |
| It’s just a hazard in the night |
| Don’t do those |
| Who’ve lost their way |
| It’s a masquerade |
| Slowly, surely it unfolded |
| Its simple lines just as |
| A pole wind told it |
| A temporary revolution |
| My problems rose and fell |
| With a lapse of illusion |
| My mind was telling me, don’t fight it |
| It’s just a hazard in the night |
| Don’t do those |
| Who’ve lost their way |
| It’s a masquerade |
| Masquerade, it’s a masquerade … |
