brilliant disguise

• bruce springsteen'in en sade ve güzel şarkılarından biri. the boss'tan kırık bir aşk hikâyesi daha :
  
  i hold you in my arms
  as the band plays
  what are those words whispered baby
  just as you turn away
  
  i saw you last night
  out on the edge of town
  i wanna read your mind
  to know just what i've got in this new thing i've found
  
  so tell me what i see
  when i look in your eyes
  is that you baby
  or just a brilliant disguise
  
  i heard somebody call your name
  from underneath our willow
  i saw something tucked in shame
  underneath your pillow
  
  well i've tried so hard baby
  but i just can't see
  what a woman like you
  is doing with me
  
  so tell me who i see
  when i look in your eyes
  is that you baby
  or just a brilliant disguise
  
  now look at me baby
  struggling to do everything right
  and then it all falls apart
  when out go the lights
  
  i'm just a lonely pilgrim
  i walk this world in wealth
  i want to know if it's you i don't trust
  'cause i damn sure don't trust myself
  
  now you play the loving woman
  i'll play the faithful man
  but just don't look too close
  into the palm of my hand
  
  we stood at the alter
  the gypsy swore our future was right
  but come the wee wee hours
  well maybe baby the gypsy lied
  
  so when you look at me
  you better look hard and look twice
  is that me baby
  or just a brilliant disguise
  
  tonight our bed is cold
  i'm lost in the darkness of our love
  god have mercy on the man
  who doubts what he's sure of
