lyrics

There's a lady that sent me a butterfly wing
I can wind it around me anytime I can sing
It's a melody to bring her closer

Well she lives in a city all the way across the country
And the letters I send her, they travel faster than me
I could race them if I like, but I only hitch-hike in the summer

Well she don't know my good friend and I don't know her kin
But the water she lives by is the same one I was born in
Of all the places that I've been I'd return there

So lady rage with hazel eyes through the cool of my mind
Lady rage until our lives might each other one day close find
Like a shoestring still entwined
Ready to lace and leave behind our bodies fair

And lover, I hope that you know
Though the getting to know has been so slow
I'm looking down the track
Another sunrise at my back
And I sing another butterfly wing

Let's race to the middle, let's rage through the night
You'll play me a little, I'll dance if you like
You see my head is so warm but my bed is so cold
And there's a woman out burning for me I'm told
Yes there's a woman out burning for me I'm told

There's a lady that sent me a butterfly wing
I can wind it around me anytime I can sing
It's a melody to bring her closer.
