"Butterfly" lyrics

Red is the leaf of the autumn tree
True was the love that was given to me
How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky?
Those that gain nothing are those who don't try
I see the leaves in the bleak autumn sky
But where is my love, my butterfly?

White are the snowflakes that float in the wild
Chilling the stones and enlighten the mind
Hiding the truth and disguising a lie
The eagle's gone swimming, the whale it will fly
Talk to the stones and reach out for the sky
But where are you now, my butterfly?

Yellow's the colour of sunset in spring
Green are the pastures of hope it will bring
What now, my beauty, come set yourself free
For endless the road to eternity
Look to the future, the past is gone by
But I see you now, my butterfly

Blue is the sky where freedom abounds
Living a life by the old fairy mound
The fire, it is kissing the Earth from the Sun
And as we make love we're together as one
Flipping and flopping in the great summer sky
Floating on high, my butterfly
