Butterfly

When I'm all alone I think to myself What it would have been like If I had stayed The way your sun rises is now just how my sun sets Though I often wish it were the other way I can't ignore the feeling that I'm far from home The only home I've ever known Since I left you then I'm a queen without a throne I can't fight down the feeling that I'm out of place Among palm trees, marquees and dry heat waves When the sound of the sea from your shore is what my heart craves If I were a butterfly as you call me I'd spread my wings and fly out my front door I'd cross the ocean so wide from dusk till morning Not resting till I see the sun rising from your shores I can't ignore the feeling that I'm far from home The only home I've ever known Since I left you then I'm a queen without a throne I can't fight down the feeling that I'm out of place Among palm trees, marquees and dry heat waves The sound of the sea from your shore is what my heart craves If I were a butterfly as you call me I'd spread my wings and fly out my front door I'd cross the ocean so wide from dusk till morning Not resting till I see the sun rising from your shores When I'm all alone I think to myself What it would've been like if I had stayed The way your sun rises is now just how my sun sets
