Laura Veirs - Black Butterfly Lyrics

Goodbye black butterfly
You can take those perfect wings
Into outer space
'Cos there's no place left in this blood
For your restless fluttering
Your sleepless ways

Black butterfly flutter me by
Kick a little bitter into the night
Spark of the stars leaving on my heart
Trying to be good by you
Alright, alright

Salt breeze rose city sunset
The bats are swinging 'round me
Like drunken ships
Ever - evergreen bows above me tower
Singin' quiet stories 'bout forgiveness

Black butterfly flutter me by
Kick a little bitter into the night
Spark of the stars leaving on my heart
Trying to be good by you
Alright, alright

Alright, alright (x4)

Alright, alright
