Masquerade
David S. Currie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The wind will blow through restless tree
And the leaves will fall from the branch
Now we are free to spin in a final dance
All along the road promises are made
Will they survive or to rest will they be laid

Then she turns to walk away
Is there something I should say

To let her know she’ll always
Hold a place in my heart
Then I for a moment hesitate
I reach out but it’s too late
Will I see her face revealed
In this masquerade

Then she turns to walk away
Is there something I should say
To let her know she’ll always
Hold a place in my heart
Then I for a moment hesitate
I reach out but it’s too late

Will I see her face revealed
In this masquerade

Line by Line Meaning

The wind will blow through restless tree
The breeze will flow through an unsettled tree

And the leaves will fall from the branch
The foliage will drop from the limb

Now we are free to spin in a final dance
In this concluding dance, we are liberated to move without constraints

All along the road promises are made
Throughout the journey, commitments are given

Will they survive or to rest will they be laid
Will these guarantees endure or be abandoned

Then she turns to walk away
Subsequently, she pivots to leave

Is there something I should say
Should I express something to her

To let her know she’ll always Hold a place in my heart
To inform her that she will constantly have a spot in my fondness

Then I for a moment hesitate
Then I briefly pause

I reach out but it’s too late
I extend my arm, but the timing is too tardy

Will I see her face revealed In this masquerade
Will I observe her authentic appearance in this performance
