SHINEDOWN LYRICS - The Crow And The Butterfly

"The Crow And The Butterfly"



I painted your room at

Midnight, so I'd know

Yesterday was over

I put all your books

On the top shelf,

Even the one with

The four leaf clover

Man, I'm getting older

I took all your pictures

Off the wall and wrapped

Them in a news paper blanket

I haven't slept in what seems

Like a century, and now I can

Barely breathe



[Chorus]

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly

dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were getting

High as outer space, I never

Thought you'd slip away

I guess I was just a little too late



You're words still serenade me,

Your lullabies won't let me sleep

I've never heard such a haunting

Melody. Oh, it's killing me

You know I can barely breathe



[Chorus]

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly

dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were getting

High as outer space, I never

Thought you'd slip away

I guess I was just a little too late



Just like a crow chasing the butterfly

dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were getting

High as outer space, I never

Thought you'd slip away -



Like a crow chasing the Butterfly

dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were getting

High as outer space, I never

Thought you'd slip away

I guess I was just a little too late



Just a little too late
