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
