Lyrics Laura Veirs

Laura Veirs

Black Butterfly

Goodbye, black butterfly

You can take those perfect wings into outer space

'Cause there's no place left in this blood

For your restless fluttering, your sleepless ways

Black butterfly, flutter me by

Kick a little bitter into the night

Spark of the stars leaving on my heart

Trying to be good by you, alright, alright

Salt breeze, rose city sunset

The bats are swinging 'round me like drunken ships

Ever, evergreen bows above me tower

Singing quiet stories 'bout forgiveness

Black butterfly, flutter me by

Kick a little bitter into the night

Spark of the stars leaving on my heart

Trying to be good by you, alright, alright

Alright, alright

Alright, alright

Alright, alright

Alright, alright

Alright, alright
