Tie-Dye Butterflies
Would you talk about it if you could?
Could you stay a little longer; linger
Like a sweet tie-dye butterfly on the flowers?
If my heart crumbled to fragments and threads
In the elegant starry sky...
I crashed in the darkness, stayed too long
Breathtakenly waiting for a dreamless moon
To show but he stayed a dream.
Might it be time to fly away
Into the midnight skies, little butterfly; tie-dye.
Kaleidescope colors blinking, fluttering wings
Could I fall apart in your hands?
Cuold you hold me a little longer
If my heart crumbled?
Would your words tumble and stutter?
Could you say what you really feel?
If one's heart could finally understand
It's time to move on, little tie-dye butterfly
You can't stay here any longer
Where the moon is only a crescent of you.
We're like two shadows flickering around
In the tall summer grass come midnight
Whispering soft secrets. Hush; tie-dye butterfly
Gentle on the breeze, steady now love
In the arched purple skies.
I flew lost in the great nowhere too long
On bleak weakened wings...
Could you catch me when I fall?
Could you hold me a little longer
If the heart were to finally understand?
Woul you be my every reason to be?
Could you be the full moon dominant in the melting sky?
If you were to shine down on the fragments of
My broken heart, ravaged like trampled flowers
I'd be the tie-dye butterfly
Wrapping her velvet wings around you
Dancing around the kaleidescope skies
Spinning all merging colors and tripped out nights.
We'd be two whispering butterflies; tie-dye in the
Shadows rustling the giant wildflowers in the dark
Won't you dance around them with me?
We're like lovestruck insect gypsies, melting weird
Psychedelic colors in the purple skies
Two tie-dye butterflies
Could you come out and fly with me tonight?
Could you just listen to your heart
If you were to shine down on me tonight?
Could you stay a little longer; linger
Like a sweet tie-dye butterfly on the flowers?
If my heart crumbled to fragments and threads
In the elegant starry sky...
I crashed in the darkness, stayed too long
Breathtakenly waiting for a dreamless moon
To show but he stayed a dream.
Might it be time to fly away
Into the midnight skies, little butterfly; tie-dye.
Kaleidescope colors blinking, fluttering wings
Could I fall apart in your hands?
Cuold you hold me a little longer
If my heart crumbled?
Would your words tumble and stutter?
Could you say what you really feel?
If one's heart could finally understand
It's time to move on, little tie-dye butterfly
You can't stay here any longer
Where the moon is only a crescent of you.
We're like two shadows flickering around
In the tall summer grass come midnight
Whispering soft secrets. Hush; tie-dye butterfly
Gentle on the breeze, steady now love
In the arched purple skies.
I flew lost in the great nowhere too long
On bleak weakened wings...
Could you catch me when I fall?
Could you hold me a little longer
If the heart were to finally understand?
Woul you be my every reason to be?
Could you be the full moon dominant in the melting sky?
If you were to shine down on the fragments of
My broken heart, ravaged like trampled flowers
I'd be the tie-dye butterfly
Wrapping her velvet wings around you
Dancing around the kaleidescope skies
Spinning all merging colors and tripped out nights.
We'd be two whispering butterflies; tie-dye in the

Psychedelic colors in the purple skies
Two tie-dye butterflies
Could you come out and fly with me tonight?
Could you just listen to your heart
If you were to shine down on me tonight?
