Elusive Butterfly
Chasing Love's Elusive Butterfly: A Poetic Journey
Lyrics
You might wake up some mornin'
You may wake up one morning
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
Hearing something moving outside your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
If you act quickly
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
You might see a fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
On the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
You may witness the floating motion of distant wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
If you are fully awake
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
You might hear footsteps in an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
Assurance that there is no harm intended
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Explanation that it's the singer pursuing something uncertain
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
Describing the pursuit across dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Pursuit of the elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Recognition of footsteps echoing in the distance
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
Through the canyons of the listener's mind
I might have even called your name
Possibly calling the listener's name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
While searching for something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Imagery of the singer running through abandoned dreams
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
Reference to the dreams the listener left behind
If you remember something there
If the listener remembers something
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
Description of a gliding presence followed by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
Reassurance that there is no harm intended
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Explanation that it's the singer pursuing something uncertain
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
Describing the pursuit across dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Pursuit of the elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
Reiteration of chasing the elusive butterfly across dreams
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Continuation of the pursuit of the elusive butterfly of love
