"Always In Disguise"

Season 9
"A Thousand Cranes"

I had so many dreams that would not fly
they fell like August rain before my eyes
I reached out and they were gone
like the moonlight in the dawn
the most precious things are always in disguise

looking back I always seemed unwise
but time has cut my ego down to size
well that's just the way it goes
when we were young, I guess we just didn't know
the most precious things are always in disguise

and time has become my crucible
its tempered all my vanity and glory
for all that's inexcusable
I want to tell you that I'm sorry

so hold me now and watch as the moon does rise
it's funny that it takes so long just to realize
you could wait a lifetime for a night like this
a thousand years for just one kiss
the most precious things are always in disguise
