Elusive Butterfly

You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind,
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow.
Out on the new horizon,
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings,
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow.

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you.
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder,
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.

Elusive Butterfly
words and music by Bob Lind, recorded by Bob Lind 1966
