Sheila Kaufman songs
I've been super busy, flitting between three states, moving, and just dealing with life in general, so I haven't been able to be on the Ramp much. Looking forward to getting back. In the meantime, I finally lit somewhere long enough to record a few of the lyrics that have filled my head up on those long drives. I'm looking forward to catching up on all of the wonderful music I've been missing from my Ramp buddies in the last couple of months. I KNOW things have to settle down sometime ;)
I loved this melody from Lee. I hope you do too.

My Disguise
Music by Lee James McAboy
Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman
Here I stand,
Just as I am,
Hidden in my disguise.
Can't you see
When you look at me,
What's right before your eyes?
Don't need a mask of bright feathers,
Ribbons or colored beads,
When you can look straight inside me,
Not knowing what you see.
Day after day
I look away,
Before you become aware,
Knowing I'd
Have too much pride
To let you see I care.
If I know that you could love me,
I'd let you into my heart.
If you don't share my feelings,
That would tear me apart.
Every day is filled up
With smoke and mirrors,
Hiding all my feelings inside.
With the slight of hand
Of a great magician,
You don't have a clue what I hide.
But, it's only getting harder with eery day,
Only getting harder in every way,
Only getting harder not to say
That I love you.
Look at me,
Who do you see
When you look into my eyes?
Could it be,
Then you look at me
You'll see through my disguise?
If I had a mask of bright feathers,
Ribbons and colored beads,
Would you look behind it
To find the real me?
Love is not
A Carnivalle,
Costumes and colored lights.
If you could know
I love you so
I could shed my disguise,
Forget about masks of bright feathers,
Ribbons and colored beads.
Then maybe I could stop hiding
And maybe then you'd see,
And maybe then you'd see
My disguise isn't me.
