"Elusive Butterfly" lyrics
(originally by Bob Lind)
You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving pass your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'd met the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on a 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 something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonders
I'll take the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly through the distance, from canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me running
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonders
I'll take the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
To the sound of something moving pass your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'd met the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on a 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 something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonders
I'll take the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly through the distance, from canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me running
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonders
I'll take the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
