You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleetin' glimpse of someone's fadin' shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floatin' motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps runnin' through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuin' something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searchin' after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Butterfly of love
Elusive butterfly of love
Butterfly of love, butterfly of-
