Butterfly

Moment in time, just for a while

The face lighted up so I could see the smile

Following her, hidden by dark

The night's not enough to keep us apart

Forbidden love, but I get near

Tense and confused

Don't know what I fear

"I love you", she said

Follow me through

And I'll find a way to get out of here

Chorus:

She was, she was to me

A butterfly, slipping into blue sky

She was, she was to me

A refugee running away with me

I'm happy now, though she has flown

Into the world she calls her own

On a warm wind, carried away

Not to be kept

She was not to stay
