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
