This was the hit version, I don't know why it only comes up on the album and the Petula Clark version is shown as the single. I always loved the imagery on this song. The words and the music go together really well to create a really captivating dreamy, floating effect
@LeeRudyard In case you're interested and don't already know these are the full lyrics:
"You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow

Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my...
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
Though it's too late for changing
someday you might look back exploring signs you left behind
If you remember something there that glided past you
followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
My name is not worth knowing
it's enough to know I'm a willing slave to something free
You might have seen me once or twice between the
walls of grown up tears and children's laughter
You might have seen me running through the
long-abandoned ruins of someone you used to be
And if you felt the brief caress of wings that fluttered past
with something running after
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
The morning sun is nodding to the prisoner
underneath whose restless questions are his bars
And all the clouds between the two look down
bewildered as to what he blindly follows
You might have stood in silence and heard
symphonies of wandering and wondered whose they are
They're compositions of a madman trying hard
to fill the part of him that's hollow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
The open eyes of evening watch the penny-ante
festival of fools below the moon
The clumsy joker tries in vain to catch the prize
before a thousand laughing princes
The night gives way to morning and returns
to bring the darkness on the heels of afternoon
But if the night should bring the feeling of a distant
game of tag upon your senses
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love."
