I painted your room at midnight

So I'd know yesterday was over

I put all your books on the top shelf

Even the one with the four leaf clover

Man, I'm getting older

I took all your pictures off the wall

And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket

I haven't slept in what seems like a century

And now I can barely breathe

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away

I guess I was just a little too late

Your words still serenade me

Your lullabies they won't let me sleep

I've never heard such a haunting melody

Oh, it's killing me

You know I can barely breathe

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away

I guess I was just a little too late

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away

Like a crow chasing the butterfly

Dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space

I never thought you would slip away

I guess I was just a little too late

Just a little too late
