lyrics

Elli B, butterfly, mon amie, what you gonna do today?
I thought we'd take a ride, on my bike, over to the frozen lake then lay down in the sun, dream out loud, underneath the animal clouds & if you get too cold, you can take my coat, or sit a little closer & tell me that my butterfly will never swim another man's sky. Cause I don't want to roll the dice to see if fate is on my side

Wrap her up in a fairytale, take a ride to a castle on the mountain. Spinning spokes bicycle bells, drop a coin in the wishing well... Her wings are tattooed to my sky, her colors light, the road that I am traveling
& I don't think my butterfly, will ever swim another, Oh tell me that my butterfly will never swim another man's sky.Cause I don't think these mortal eyes have ever seen a more beautiful smile

& I don't think this butterfly will ever land beneath my sky
& I don't think that shepherds moon, will hang around for long tonight
Still, I don't think this lonely room has ever held a more beautiful light
& All I saw was mystery while looking deep within her eyes
& I don't think these questions will get answered on the day that I die

Eli B, rose tattoo, butterfly, guess you're gonna fly on by
