This Masquerade
Written by Leon Russell
Performed by George Benson


Are we really happy here, with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding -- understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade


Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We try 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 reasons that we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade . . .
