Blessings In Disguise
It was a Blessing in Disguise
The truth is always a surprise
It's good to lose the things you love
Just to see what it's like
It only serves to reconfirm --
You can't have love on your own terms
Thank you for opening my eyes
It was a Blessing in Disguise
It was a Blessing in Disguise
A foolish move can make you wise
A quick thief in the night
Will teach you not to moralize
Tornadoes, ghosts and the Lord of Dreams --
Ah, they're never what they seem
Don't try to compromise
With your Blessing in Disguise
Thank you sweet Blessing in Disguise
Brother eclipse, and sister night
A quick change brings back 'round the sun
So I can swim into the sky
Sweet Jesus, thank you for bright days
Now that the shadow's gone away
I can feel that warm sunrise
Goodbye, sweet Blessing in Disguise
