Lyrics
Butterflies
She bought Vincents sunflowers
Because she liked the yellow hew
Knocked a nail there in the wall
And hung it up for all to view
For all to view
But it clashed with the curtains
It was no good at all
And it clashed with the cushions
And the paint upon the walls
The trail of destruction
That a hurricane might bring
Started out with butterflies
Butterflies just flapping their wings
Flapping their wings
And we don?t like to admit it
That we just don?t have control
And we?ll push until we fit it
That square peg in that round hole
She?s hanging up new curtains
To frame her garden view
Smiling at the butterflies
With seemingly so very much to do
If only she knew
Everything changes everything
Nothing acts alone
Everyone?s changing everyone
Don?t imagine you?re on your own
