Dog & Butterfly

There I was with the old man

Stranded again so off I'd ran

A young world crashing around me

No possibilities of getting what I need

He looked at me and smiled

Said "No, no, no, no, no child

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly

Below she had to try

She roll back down to the warm soft ground laughing

She don't know why

She don't know why

Dog and butterfly

Well I stumbled upon your secret place

Safe in the trees you had tears on your face

Wrestling with your desires

Frozen strangers stealing your fires

The message hit my mind

Only words that I could find

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly

Below she had to try

And she roll back down to the warm soft ground laughing

To the sky

Up to the sky

Dog and butterfly

We're getting older the world's getting colder

For the life of me I don't know the reason why

Maybe it's livin' making us give in

Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide

We're balanced together ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town

Moonlight holding me light as down

Voice of confusion inside of me

Just begging to go back where I'm free

Feels like I'm through

Then the old man's words are true

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly

Below she had to try

She roll back down to the warm soft ground

With a little tear in her eye, yeah

She had to try

She had to try

Dog and butterfly

Yeah...

Up in the air he liked to fly

The dog and butterfly

Below she had to try

She rolled back down to the warm soft ground laughing

She don’t know why

But she had to try

She had to try

Dog and butterfly
