Lover's Mask Lyrics

Michael Ruff Lover's Mask

The lover's mask has no expression
The lover's mask is no disguise
To see the truth in every vision
It only shows a lover's eyes

The lover's dance - no sense of rhythm
The lover's dance - no sense of time
To feel the groove with each expression
The lover's dance is heart, and mind

CHORUS : To wear this lover's mask
                 Is to read between the lines
                 We watch as lovers go by
                 I'll wear this lover's mask
                 Do anything for you
                 I'll let my fences down
                 Tear my fences down

The lover's story is not a fantasy
The lover's verse  - no sense of rhyme
For poetry is only vision
My eyes are only marking time

CHORUS : We wear this lover's mask
                 To read between the lines
                 We watch as lovers go by
                 I'll wear this lover's mask
                 Do anything for you
                 I'll let my fences down
                 Tear my fences down

A true lover will never look behind
