lyrics

One more butterfly born to surely die,
The wings shows glory with a teardrop on the side,
There is no beauty they ever try to hide,
Slowly moving through the smoothest lullaby..

Hey fistful wind, won't you take a break for me,
Lately I've been tired and I'm trying to plant seeds,
My friend, the rain, will soon come help me out,
The shadow's uninvited and he carries all the doubts..

I threw a coin down the wishing well,
I waited for the splash but it went straight downhill,
Then almost jumped inside to get it back,
'Cause I've been counting all the pennies that I have..

There's no miracles happening this way,
Someone flicks the switch and the sun fades away,
These wings are worthless at the end of the day,
A little drop of water drowns a burning flame.

I threw a coin down the wishing well,
I waited for the splash but it went straight downhill,
Then almost jumped inside to get it back,
'Cause I've been counting all the pennies that I have..
