Masquerade lyrics

[Refrain]
Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold this soul, and the money paid
I've been here so long, and
That's where you have gone, so I
Grab my bag and I'm on my way

[Verse 1]
The old man told me that I shouldn't go
There are things I couldn't know
I said you may be wise, but you
Haven't seen her eyes so
Shook his hand and I hit the road

[Chorus]
Why, why, why, why, why
Why won't the sun rise?
Why, why, why, why, why
Can't I forget your eyes?

[Verse 2]
Shadows reachin' out for my heart
And I keep moving on through the dark
Travelled many miles, and I'd
Love to stop a while, but
Nothing, child, is gonna keep us apart
[Chorus]
Why, why, why, why, why
Why won't the sun rise?
Why, why, why, why, why
Can't I forget your eyes?

[Bridge]
Promises I made were made of glass
I gathered all the shards to bring to you
I lit a candle and I prayed for forty nights
Haven't heard an answer yet
I like the silence anyway

[Refrain]
Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold this soul, and the money paid
The road is long again, and the
World is full of sin, so I
Grab my gun and I'm on my way

[Outro]
I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
