You're a love song 

Only half-way sung 

You're the knot that comes undone 

You're the daylight 

Dressed as darkest night 

The flight of a stringless kite 



The very vision 

The mirage man 

You're air in the palm of my hand 

You're like catching 

The day's sunset 

O rain that's never wet 



You're a butterfly in the mind 

You're a butterfly before my eyes 

You're a butterfly, a trick of time 

Who leaves before he arrives 



You're a butterfly in the mind 

You're a butterfly before my eyes 

You're a butterfly, who says he's mine 

But who leaves before he arrives
