Yellow Butterfly

She was just five years old

A slightly moody day

She couldn't stay away from that river's edge and I

I turned my back to count

All the daffodil seeds that surrounded

I closed my eyes and then heard the water wake up

And I

I can still hear that scream

It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere

"Mother, please save me, grab my hand, I can't, I can't"

I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves

Baby please, breathe for me, give me time, I am here

Where did you go?

Where'd you go?

Where'd you go?

Hey, where'd you go?

Were the angels that lonely?

Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?

Can't everybody just lie to me?

She's home, she's home, crying for me now

Every night on a Monday

I will visit the same spot that I hate

Yes, the place that baby loved

And now she can taste it, it took her away

It's been five years since then

And when it hits September

I feel like I'm dying again

Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me

Isn't this pain guilt enough?

I can't even look out the window

Without seeing figures distorted in the sun

And I

I can still hear that scream

It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere

"Mother, please save me, grab my hand, I can't, I can't"

I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves

Baby please, breathe for me, give me time, I am here

Where did you go?

Where'd you go?

Where'd you go?

Hey, where'd you go?

And when the pain hits me like gunshot

Oh and I'm heading on the way to the floor

I hear her name and it kills me

Oh, bottles up, bottles up, bottles up

And I'm trying my best to hurt me

Ian says it's never enough

A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear

Cough it up, drink it up, drink it up

Were the angels that lonely?

Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?

Can't everybody just lie to me, lie to me?

She's home, she's home, crying for me now

Every night on a Monday

I will visit the same spot that I hate

Yes, the place that baby loved

And now she can taste it, it took her away,

Oh it took her away, took her away

So I had a coma

When I crashed my car in the lake

I saw your face down there

I knew, it was not a mistake

So I went to the doctor

I told him, Oh my heart would break

If I couldn't see you

He just gave me more pills

But, I saw you up there

Still floating by the river

God, you always loved that river

I bet your heaven looks just like it

Then I'll like it too,

Even though it scares me now

But when I'm with you

I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.

We can sit

We can talk about,

Talk about...Butterflies

Butterflies, butterflies
