Masque Of Love

(アルバム： Dancing On The Couch - 1987)

We are no brief encounter
I used to share with you
From this unhappy distance
I wonder what to do
Denying my suspicions
I see what I want to see
But I can't go on pretending
If you won't talk to me

Masque of love
Shadowboxing
If you don't want me
Say the word
Masque of love
Pulling punches
If our dance is over
Say the word

Your temporary silence
Is forcing us apart
The gold that leads to winter
Is heavy on my heart

We've been out of step too long
Do you feel you don't belong
Tell me what would make the difference
Anything but independence

I dream of confidences
The way we used to be
But all I have is dreaming
If you won't talk to me
