Lyrics
Silent Masquerade
Late one night in a cold December rain
I held you to my heart as I ran onto the train
And I wonder what I?d say
If I saw you here today
Cause when I left you suddenly
You were staring back at me, so
Silent Night, a song I sang to you
It?s all that I could give
You know I tried to see it through
Loved you more than I could say
And I knew you felt the same
Cause when I left you long ago
I was standing by that door and I prayed that
I wouldn?t die not knowing what had come of you
Those voices in the rain, I heard them call my name
Said I wouldn?t die not knowing what had come to you
Still I survived, to live my silent masquerade
The years went by and I carried on
A boy and girl in school
And a job to call my own
And I?ve wondered what I?d do
Knowing all that I?ve been through
Cause when I left you years ago
You were lying by that door and I prayed that
I wouldn?t die not knowing what had come of you
Those voices in the rain, I heard them cry my name
Said I wouldn?t die not knowing what had come to you
Still I survived, to live my silent masquerade
Sunday afternoon on a plane to Santa Fe
I felt you in my heart
As we landed in the rain
And I wonder what I?ll do
When I see my eyes in you
Cause when I left you years ago
You were sleeping by that door and I prayed that
I wouldn?t die not knowing what had come of you
Those voices in the rain, I heard you call my name
Said I wouldn?t die not knowing what had come to you
Still I survived, to live my silent masquerade
