Lyrics
BUTTERFLY WINGS
COCOON
I do appreciate your being here here.
But you should know one day I'll disappear.
Into the mist
I'll fly on butterfly wings.
I know you see someone you think is me.
But nothing's really what it seems to be,
And when I fly,
I'll fly on butterfly wings.
Bright light.
Never ending white light.
All my life a sweet ride, on butterfly wings.
Highway.
Always going my way
I'll keep going my way, on butterfly wings.
Out there
I'll be going somewhere
and I'm going to get there, on butterfly wings
Bright light
never ending white light
all my life a sweet ride, on butterfly wings.
It's not that I don't care, you know I do.
And you can feel it, when I think of you,
and when I fly,
I'll fly on butterfly wings.
