Elusive Butterfly
You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something
Moving past your window in the wind (wind)
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadow (shadow), yes, you will now
Out on the dew horizon
You may see a floating motion
Of a distant pair of wings (no way now)
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps
Runnin' through an open meadow (meadow)
But you will now (but you will now)
Don't be concerned, 'cause I won't harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' that I'm not sure of
Across my dreams (across my dreams) with nets of wonder (nets of wonder)
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Yes I do now
You might have seen me running (running)
Through the long abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there that glided past you
Followed by a heavy breathin' (hey, hey, heavy breathin')
Why don't you do it? (Don't you do it)
Don't be concerned, 'cause I won't harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' that I'm not sure of
Across my dreams (across my dreams) with my nets of wonder (nets of wonder)
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Yes I do now (yes I do now)
I'm right behind ya (I'm right behind ya)
The elusive butterfly of love
I'm right behind ya
To the sound of something
Moving past your window in the wind (wind)
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadow (shadow), yes, you will now
Out on the dew horizon
You may see a floating motion
Of a distant pair of wings (no way now)
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps
Runnin' through an open meadow (meadow)
But you will now (but you will now)
Don't be concerned, 'cause I won't harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' that I'm not sure of
Across my dreams (across my dreams) with nets of wonder (nets of wonder)
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Yes I do now
You might have seen me running (running)
Through the long abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there that glided past you
Followed by a heavy breathin' (hey, hey, heavy breathin')
Why don't you do it? (Don't you do it)
Don't be concerned, 'cause I won't harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' that I'm not sure of
Across my dreams (across my dreams) with my nets of wonder (nets of wonder)
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Yes I do now (yes I do now)
I'm right behind ya (I'm right behind ya)
The elusive butterfly of love
I'm right behind ya
