Elusive Butterfly
Chasing Love's Elusive Butterfly: A Poetic Pursuit
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 passing by your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
If you're quick to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
You might see a fading shadow on the new horizon
Out on the new horizon
Out there, you may witness the motion of distant wings
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if you are fully awake
And if the sleep has left your ears
You could hear footsteps running in an open meadow
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
Don't worry, it won't harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
It's the singer pursuing something uncertain
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
Across dreams, capturing wonders with nets
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Chasing the elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
You might have heard the singer's footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
Echoing softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
The singer may have called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
While searching for something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
You might have witnessed the singer running
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
Through the abandoned ruins of dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
If you recall something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
That glided past you, accompanied by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
Don't worry, it won't harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
It's the singer pursuing something uncertain
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
Across dreams, capturing wonders with nets
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Chasing the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
Across dreams, capturing wonders with nets
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Chasing the bright elusive butterfly of love
