Blessing in Disguise

(Michael Martin Murphey)

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.
