Luke Ritchie - Butterfly Lyrics

Send "Butterfly" ringtone to your cell

I caught it with both hands

My little butterfly

I took it on a whim

It caught me by surprise

To find it on my path

My sullen march to work

I held it in my grasp

Like a flame so thin

A flame that never burns.

I held it to my chest

And smuggled it back home.

It shivered at my palm

The thought of what awaits.

A sample on a board

A piercing through the chest

A steady hand to prise

Arms out-stretched and then firmly pinned

Pressed to the wood all waxed and stiff.

Sometimes i fear i cant handle this

The pace and scale of remorselessness.

Even the kids here would tear its wings

Rip out her colours all paper thin.

These are the things you cant shrink from this

Weep for the stalk of a fallen leaf.

Take what i can and then leave the rest

Holding it tight in one gripped fist.

I let her in my home

Let her find her way.

Its here that well forget

Only for today

Just within these walls

Shell never see it all.

Shes fading in my arms

With a breath so faint

A voice that never spoke.
