Butterfly Nets

Calm that wicked wind,

To pick you up

And carry you off eastward,

Though I did release you

For to seek a warmer sky

Should you be blown back

Know that I will always run to greet you,

Still surprised to catch you

Every time

Armed with this small butterfly net

I will face the world alone

And never be lonely

So calm that wicked wind,

And if you go, you could be gone forever

I will play awhile here

By and by and by and by

Armed with this small butterfly net

I will face the world alone

And never be lonely

Up and up you go

For to steal the secrets of the heavens

Will you share them with me

My bright and brilliant spy?

Should you be blown back

Know that I will always run to greet you

Still surprised to catch you

Every time

Still surprised to catch you

By and by and by and by
