Butterfly On A Wheel
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.
Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone
´Cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
The heat of your breath carving shadow in the mist
Every angel has the wish that she´s never been kissed
A broken dream haunting in your sleep
And hiding in your smile a secret you must keep, love cuts you deep
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as god made wine, you can´t wrap your arms around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold autumn wind cut sharp as a knife
And in the dark for me, you´re the candle flame that flickers to life
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Wise man say all is fair in love and war
There's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
