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?
