There I was, with the old man.
Stranded again. So off I'd ran.
A young world crashin' around me.
No possibilities of gettin' what I need.
He looked at me, and smiled.
Said 'No, no, no, no, no... child'
See the Dog and Butterfly. Up in the air, he liked to fly.
Dog and Butterfly... below she had to try.
But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground.
Laughing, she don't know why.
She don't know why. Dog and butterfly
Oh I stumbled upon your secret place.
Sittin' in treasure with tears on your face.
Wrestlin' with your desires.
Frozen strangers, stealin' your fires.
The messege in my mind...
The only words that I could find...
See the Dog and Butterfly. Up in the air, he liked to fly.
Dog and Butterfly... below she had to try.
But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground.
Laughing, to the sky.
Up to the sky. Dog and butterfly
We're gettin' older. The worlds getting colder.
For the life of me, I dont' know the reason why.
Maybe it's living... makin' us give in.
Hearts rollin' in, then taken back on the tide.
Oh, balance together like oceans upon the sky.
Another night, in a strange town.
Oh moonlight hold me. Light is down.
Voice of confusion inside of me,
Just beggin to go back where I'm free.
The years and like I'm through,
Then the old mans words are true.
See the Dog and Butterfly. Up in the air, he liked to fly.
Dog and Butterfly... below she had to try.
But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground.
With a tear, in her eye. Yeah
She had to try, she had to try. Dog and butterfly.
Yeah, up in the air we like to fly.
The dog and Butterfly... below she had to try.
But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground.
Laughing, she don't know why. But she had to try.
(Heh) She had to try. The dog and butterfly.
(Vocalizing... fade... wind chimes... fade...)
