The Mission
Butterfly on a Wheel from the album Carved in Sand (1990)
Verse 1:
Silver and gold, and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine, chill you to the bone,
cause the mandling wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
The heat of your breath carvin shadows in the mist
Every angel has the wish, she's never been kissed
A broken dream, haunting in your sleep
Hiding in your smile, a secret you must keep love cuts you deep.
Chorus:
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Verse 2:
There's no scarlet in you, lay a fair down for me
Sure has got me twined, you can't wrap you arms around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife
but in the dark for me you're the candle flame that flikkers to light
Chorus: x2 times
Bridge:
Wise men say all is fair in love and war
And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
and like the flower in the spring, love will rise again to heal your wings
Chorus 2:
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
