Paroles de Butterfly Nets

calm that wicked wind,
to pick you up
and carry you off eastward,
though i did release you
for to seek a warmer sky
should you be blown back
know that i will always run to greet you,
still surprised to catch you
every time

armed with this small butterfly net
i will face the world alone
& never be lonely

so calm that wicked wind,
& if you go, you could be gone forever
i will play awhile here
by & by & by & by -

armed with this small butterfly net
i will face the world alone
& never be lonely

up & up you go
for to steal the secrets of the heavens know that i will always run to greet you
still surprised to catch you
every time
still surprised to catch you
by & by & by & by -
