Butterfly Eyes

Have you seen the one with butterfly eyes? The one who hides behind a smiling disguise Who passes me by every night As I close my eyes They stand at the ledge And whisper goodbye. Have you seen the one with sunshine hair? The one who plays that guitar everywhere Who stands by the well and sings a tune As cloudless eyes fade to rain Their words they grow heavy With unsung pain. Have you seen the one with butterfly eyes? The one who only seems to speak in sighs Who looks to the sky asking it why As they stand and watch The butterflies die. Butterfly eyes Who do you know? Did you find that special place where the flowers always grow? Did you grow weary of being the only color in the snow? Butterfly eyes Where did you go?
