菅野よう子 - butterfly

you’re a love song
only half-way sung
you’re the knot that comes undone
you’re the daylight
dressed as darkest night
the flight of a stringless kite

the very vision
the mirage man
you’re air in the palm of my hand
you’re like catching
the day’s sunset
o rain that’s never wet

you’re a butterfly in the mind
you’re a butterfly before my eyes
you’re a butterfly, a trick of time
who leaves before he arrives

you’re a butterfly in the mind
you’re a butterfly before my eyes
you’re a butterfly, who says he’s mine
who leaves before he arrives
