Diana Krall - Abandoned Masquerade

[00:18.08] The glitter on a paint and plaster face
[00:23.14] Is covering desire and disgrace
[00:26.49] We could be lovers but no one suspects at all
[00:36.12] Once you're inside that costume ball
[00:40.04] And now, I'm sitting here before the mirror
[00:46.48] I have the skill, still to disguise my tears
[00:57.95] Then as the magic starts to fade
[01:03.23] I find myself abandoning the masquerade
[01:15.63] Even though you're suffering, you try to hide it
[01:28.48] And pretend you're so nonchalant
[01:39.15] You can cry a pool of tears and sit beside it
[01:47.55] Then perhaps you'll know what you want
[02:00.97] I hope you never feel this much despair
[02:09.02] Or know the meaning of that empty chair
[02:20.12] As the illusions that we made, all fall away
[02:29.51] In this abandoned masquerade
[02:59.24] Even though you're suffering, you try to hide it
[03:00.36] And pretend you're so nonchalant
[03:00.92] You can cry a pool of tears and sit beside it
[03:01.92] Then perhaps you'll know what you want
[03:02.53] I hope you never feel this much despair
[03:03.21] Or know the meaning of that empty chair
[03:04.17] As the illusions that we made, all fall away
[03:04.72] In this abandoned masquerade
[03:05.53]
