Butterfly Day

 

You said "Midnight is my name"

and I knew I felt the same

when you said to me

"I've been searching all around,

even in the deserts and underground

and I wonder, could it be,

that you're the one for me?"

 

But if I look in your eyes

and they have said goodbye

don't hold on to me -

I ask you please...

Give me a chance to fly away,

I don't want to cry away

another Butterfly Day.

 

Across a darkened room

I saw you in the gloom

 from your eyes a flash.

 The nights around the fire,

devils laughing with desire

and I wonder, could it be,

that you're the one for me?

 

But if it starts to snow,

please let me go

don't hold on to me -

I ask you please...

Give me a chance to fly away,

I don't want to cry away

another Butterfly Day.

 

If it's just the sadness left

and you've got no more to say,

if all that I have left to give

 is this tear bouquet,

I beg you please...

 

You know we loved the rain,

through the windows of the train

and warm cafes.

In disguise under the stars

we danced to your guitar

and I wondered, could it be?

 that you're the one for me?

 

But if your song's no longer mine,

you've left my love behind,

don't hold on to me -

I whisper please...
