The Crow & the Butterfly

I painted your room at midnight So I'd know yesterday was over I put all your books on the top shelf Even the one with the four-leaf clover Man, I'm gettin' older I took all your pictures off the wall And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket I haven't slept in what seems like a century And now I can barely breathe Just like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late Your words still serenade me Your lullabies won't let me sleep I've never heard such a haunting melody Oh, it's killin' me You know I can barely breathe Just like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late Just like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away Like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late Just a little too late
