Butterfly


Butterfly, Butterfly

If I had your wings

My dreams would get bigger

the places Id go

but knowing my luck

I'd be caught in a net

So I'll turn off the light

and crawl back into bed

 

Butterfly, Butterfly

I've seen what you saw

the flowers and trees

and the moon up above

but you've seen it free

while here I lay trapped

so tell me butterfly

do I have anything left

I am a singer-songwriter. I like to write poetry, but poems rarely fit into music very well so I think I am going to post the poems I write here.
