There I was with the old man, stranded again, so off I ran
A young world crashing around me; no possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled,
B7sus2
said No, no, no, no, no, no child
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
(no3rd)
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
Laughing, She don't know why
She don't know why, Dog and Butterfly
Well I stumbled upon your secret place, Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires; frozen stangers stealing your fires
The message hit my mind,
B7sus2
Only words that I could find
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
(no3rd)
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
Laughing, to the sky
Up to the sky, Dog and Butterfly
We're getting older, The world getting colder
(no 3rd) (no 3rd)
For the life of me, I don't know the reason why
(no 3rd)
Maybe it's living, making us give in
(no 3rd) (no 3rd)
Heart rolling in, taken back on the tide
(no 3rd) (no 3rd)
We're balanced together; ocean upon the sky
Another night in this stange town, Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me, begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through,
B7sus2
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
(no3rd)
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
With a little tear in her eye
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, Below she has to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
With a little tear in her eye
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
