Butterfly Lyrics

A butterfly on my doorstep

Is my company tonight

Calming eyes of hazel

No sign of fear or fright

I lead the way through corridors where candles once were lit

Where hats were wearing heads

Where dames and sirs got sick

In the evening summer birds would fly into the skies

We were picking daisies

We were picking daisies you and me

Atop the floating field

If we only knew that we were through

Now we do

Broken chairs are standing guard

Shielding moss, rust and mould

The uproar of squeaking floorboards

Resounding through my family's fold

Beams of sunlight piercing through the roof

Tomorrow is here

Shadows moving out of corners

And life's colours appear

When the donkey climbs the burial mound at noon

I'll be picking daisies

I'll be picking daisies for you

Atop the floating field

And you'll know, yes you know that I've let you go

Let us meet once-in-a-while

Within this meadow of white

To sit and linger just us two

Feel late lovers delight

When the moon is high

We'll part ways again

No sobbing, no sigh

Neither of us forsaken

Both cherish what was

What is and what's to come

Like butterflies in a gust of wind

We go on
