You're a love song only halfway sung   You're the knot that comes undone   You're the daylight dressed as darkest night   The flight of a stringless kite      The very vision, the mirage man   You're air in the palm of my hand   You're like catching the day's sunset   Oh rain that's never wet      You're a butterfly in the mind   You're a butterfly before my eyes   You're a butterfly, a trick of time   Who leaves before he arrives      You're a butterfly in the mind   You're a butterfly before my eyes   You're a butterfly who says he's mine   But who leaves before he arrives      You're a butterfly in the mind   You're a butterfly before my eyes   You're a butterfly who says he's mine   But who leaves before he arrives   Who leaves before he arrives
