I Want To Write Poetry From The Soul

Butterfly Melody
Music and lyrics by me
Copyright 1999



If she settles down, she will be grounded, but you want her to take your hand
to establish the bond you hope to count on, but there’s something you don’t understand

Chorus
She floats through life like a butterfly on a rainbow she sees with no end
Never staying for long so no one can hold on; she’ll blow through you just like the wind


(( The red and green lines are brainstorming so you can see how my songwriting process operates))


Now she’s sifting through all, all that you offer, weighing your gifts as is they’re just sand
With a smile of surprise to hide her disguise, she uses you like
With a smile of surprise, her selfish disguise means that you don’t understand
She smiles in your face as if she really cares, but your gifts mean nothing in her hands
Give her pearls and rings and pretty gold things, but for her they are nothing but sand
She will smile in surprise but her true feelings you fail to understand
She will smile in surprise peeking through a disguise and it’s one that you don’t understand
She will smile in surprise peeking through her disguise leading you on as her lamb


Chorus


Will she ever find love, love in this life time, seeking pleasure in her short term affairs
You can share all your dreams of how two can be one but your dreams are the least of her cares

Chorus
