Heart | Lyrics | Dog & Butterfly

There I was with the old man
Stranded again an' so off I'd ran
A young world crashin' around me
No possibilities of getting 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 they like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground laughin'
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Well, I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face
Wrestlin' with your desires
Frozen strangers stealin' your fires
The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find

But see the dog and butterfly
Up in the air they like to fly
Dog and butterfly, though she had to try
And she roll back down to the warm soft ground
With laughin' to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're getting older, the world's getting colder
With the life of me, I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' makin' us give in
Hearts rollin' in, taken back on the tide
We're balanced together, ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holdin' me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
Jus' beggin' to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air they like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
With a little tear in her eye, yeah
She had to try, she had to try

Dog and butterfly, yeah
Up in the air they like to fly
The dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughin' she don't know why
But she had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly
