Aretha Franklin Elusive Butterfly song 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
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
You might have seen me runnin'
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'
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
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
