There I was with the old man

Stranded again

So off I'd ran

A young world crashin' around me

No possibilities of gettin' what I need

He looked at me and smiled

Said 'no no no no no child'

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he liked to fly

Dog and butterfly below she had to try

But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground

Laughing she don't know why

She don't know why

Dog and butterfly

Oh I stumbled upon your secret place

Sittin' in treasure with tears on your face

Wrestlin' with your desires

Frozen strangers stealin' your fires

The messege in my mind

The only words that I could find

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he liked to fly

Dog and butterfly below she had to try

But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground

Laughing to the sky

Up to the sky

Dog and butterfly

We're gettin' older

The worlds getting colder

For the life of me I don't' know the reason why

Maybe it's living makin' us give in

Hearts rollin' in then taken back on the tide

Oh balance together like oceans upon the sky

Another night in a strange town

Oh moonlight hold me

Light is down

Voice of confusion inside of me

Just beggin to go back where I'm free

The years and like I'm through

Then the old mans words are true

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he liked to fly

Dog and butterfly below she had to try

But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground

With a tear in her eye

Yeah

She had to try she had to try

Dog and butterfly

Yeah up in the air we like to fly

The dog and butterfly below she had to try

But she rolled back down to the warm soft ground

Laughing she don't know why

But she had to try

Heh

She had to try

The dog and butterfly
