Butterfly child is leaving. flutter of red and gold
Fickle and wild, she's fleeing
Love that has now grown old.
Taking the next air current.
Catching the breeze that blows.
Butterfly child is keeping the moss from off her stone.

Butterfly child is teasing, playing the game so well
Sheʼs already won, before its begun
By catching you with her spell
Stealing your best intentions.
Soaking up all your worth
Butterfly child has only to smile.
She wonʼt have to say a word

But i wont let you feel it when she goes
No i wont leave you bleeding in the cold
Oh you can share my shelter
And i'll melt your frozen heart
ʻtil butterfly child is nothing but only a fading scar

..butterfly child is stunning carrying on her show
But after a while she's nothing,
With nowhere to call a home...

But i wont let you feel it when she goes
No i wont leave you bleeding in the cold
Oh you can share my shelter
And i'll melt your frozen heart
ʻtil butterfly child is nothing but only a fading scar.
