Elusive Butterfly (of Love)

(C alternates with CMaj7)

You might wake up some morning

 

To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind

 

And if you're quick enough to rise,

 

you'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow

 

Out on the 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

Chorus:

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 wonder,

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

 

You might have heard my footsteps,

Echo softly in the distance through the 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 (Chorus)

 

Across my dreams, with nets of wonder,

I chased the bright elusive butterfly of love.
