Elusive Butterfly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something movin'
Passed your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'd met the fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadow
Out on a new horizon
You may see the boat in motion
Of a distant carib wind
And if you sneeze then, press your ear
You might hear footsteps running
Through an open meadow
Do be concerned it will not harm you
It's only a mistress doing something
I'm not sure of
Cross my dreams with myths of wonders
I'd make the brightest elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard
My footsteps echo softly
Through the distant
From the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran safely
After something to believe in
You might have seen me running
Through long abandon ruins
Of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something
They're the brightest path to follow
'Cause I remember dreaming
Do be concerned it will not harm you
It's only a mistress doing something
I'm not sure of
Cross my dreams with myths of wonders
I'd make the brightest elusive butterfly of love
Cross my dreams with myths of wonders
I'd make the brightest elusive butterfly of love
