Butterfly Lyrics

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.
