With lyrics by Leon Russell and ambiance provided by a stellar keyboard interpretation in addition to the vocal, we have mood going on in this one that can easily conjure images of the lives of two spies. Posting begins Friday, August 9 and runs through the weekend.

This Masquerade - lyrics by Leon Russell

Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
