You're a love song only halfway 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
Oh 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

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
Who leaves before he arrives
