Marti Webb Masquerade Lyrics

Masquerade
Beneath the silent stars
I'll dance with you
And send you a gift
To prove my love is true
Before it all begins to fade away

Earth to air
And through the fire that knows
As friend the sun
Beneath the waters
There's a riddle won
Before it all begins to fade away

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over the riddling stick
Jack be willing
Jack be strong
Jack be thrilling, but don't be long
'Cause it's gonna fade
Oh it soon will fade
All the cavalcade
Before this chilling, spilling, thrilling Masquerade.

Song of sun
You sound so sweetly
That the day awaits
And to the eye of day
You gravitate
Before it all begins to fade away

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over the riddling stick
Jack be willing
Jack be strong
Jack be thrilling, but don't be long
'Cause it's gonna fade
Oh it soon will fade
All the cavalcade
Before this chilling, spilling, thrilling Masquerade.
