Butterfly Lyrics
Changing memories they fade away
The hours and the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Up to an empty room
Four walls around nothing to be found
Of empty promises in a lonesome town
Let me lay you down
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
The changing memories they fade away
The hours in the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
That I'm sick and I want to go home
The hours and the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Four walls around nothing to be found
Of empty promises in a lonesome town
Let me lay you down
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
The hours in the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
That I'm sick and I want to go home

the screaming trees rock my world! YES!!! GO SCREAMING TREES!!! this is a beautiful song about the delicate pain of letting go
This song is about someone leaving you (death, breakup, etc.) and the feeling of depression that follows
I suppose it's written to be depressing but I find it unusually catchy. Kind of just bobbing my head and singing along. Love the band and the track.
Such a good song.
Great track....loved it for years!
