Aretha Franklin - Elusive Butterfly lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - Elusive Butterfly lyrics]
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 fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of
A distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running
Through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin'
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 searching 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 somethin'
I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
To the sound of something moving past
Your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of
A distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running
Through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin'
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 searching 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 somethin'
I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
