Butterfly Lyrics
You're a love song
Only half-way sung
You're the knot that comes undone
You're the daylight
Dressed as darkest night
The flight of a stringless kite
The very vision
The mirage man
You're air in the palm of my hand
You're like catching
The day's sunset
O rain that's never wet
You're a butterfly in the mind
You're a butterfly before my eyes
You're a butterfly, a trick of time
Who leaves before he arrives
You're a butterfly in the mind
You're a butterfly before my eyes
You're a butterfly who says he's mine
Who leaves before he arrives
Only half-way sung
You're the knot that comes undone
You're the daylight
Dressed as darkest night
The flight of a stringless kite
The very vision
The mirage man
You're air in the palm of my hand
You're like catching
The day's sunset
O rain that's never wet
You're a butterfly in the mind
You're a butterfly before my eyes
You're a butterfly, a trick of time
Who leaves before he arrives
You're a butterfly in the mind
You're a butterfly before my eyes
You're a butterfly who says he's mine
Who leaves before he arrives

I love this song... it reminds me of myself when I feel lost . I sit and listen to it and think as if the song was meant exactly for myself and it helps to kill the pain of lost friendships/loved ones...
Great song - loving the jazz. To me, this sounds like an ode to a man (from a woman's perspective). The muse in question, might be their partner, or an unrequited love. Either way though, they undoubtedly play an important role in the woman's life. However, just as much of a certainty, is the notion that the love story itself (at the heart of this song), has not been fully realised. It seems the man cannot be tied-down, and is a elusive and enigmatic figure. Quite fitting for the character of Spike Spiegal, as I'm sure it was intended.
