And you, don’t you want to go back
Back to the place you were born
Before the world made you grind
Before it tore open your eyes
Well I gave her my name and she moved the earth
Hey if you see her, tell her to change my mind
Or change the distance to the sun
For only she knows how to shine
Like a butterfly . . .

Butterfly . . .
Come to me before I wake
Blue sky sunset
Close my eyes again
Butterfly . . .
Come to me before I wake
Butterfly . . .
Close my eyes again

And you, don’t you want to cling tight
Like a tear of joy or a caterpillar
False pretense always made you smile
False pretense always takes a while
I hear you moved away, closer to God
Hitched a ride to Arizona, found a new job
For only she brings out my best
Like a butterfly
