Marveling at cascading shadows
The fading light through the window is casting
A palette of gold on your face
Brown hair and freckles endear me
Tell me your secrets, I'll keep them securely
Locked in between our gaze
It's been so long since the butterflies came home
Dazzling, they've captured you and you alone
Your essence swallows my body whole
Capture my weakened hands disasters
And prop me up by the window
Startled, too numb to speak
Swearing your word on your mother
Drying my tears from the corner
Our eyes meet and cradle me on past the dawn
It's been so long since the butterflies came home
Dazzling, they've captured you and you alone
Your essence swallows my body whole
Blossom in all of your splendor
My heart bursts, crowded hereafter with love's words
Tingling the tip of my tongue
Enthrall me with tales of your past lives
Reciting the quotes that have guided your wanderings
In search of a place to call home
Call my arms home
Call my arms home
Call my arms home
Call my arms home
Call my arms home
Call my arms home
Call my arms home
It's been so long since the butterflies came home
They're dazzling, they've captured you and you alone
Your essence swallows my body
Swallows my body
Swallows my body whole
