There I was with the old man - stranded agin, so off I ran A young world crashin' around me - no possibilities of gettin what I need He loked at me and he smiled...-said "No, no, no, no..no child"
Chorus: See the dog and butterfly...up in the air he like to fly Dog and butterfly..... Below...she had to try....and she rolled back down to the warm, soft ground, Laughin'...she don't know why She don't know why Dog and Butterfly.......!
Well, I stumbled upon your secret place..safe in the trees, you had tears on Your face Wrestling with your desires...the frozen stranger stealin' your fires The message hit my mind Only words that I could find....
Chorus: See the dog and butterfly..up in the air he like to fly... Dog and butterfly.... Below..she had to try...and she rolled back down to the warm, soft ground Laughin'.....up to the sky Up to the sky.. Dog and Butterfly...
Bridge: We're getting older...the world's getting colder For the life of me...I don't know the reason why.... Maybe it's livin'...making us give in Hearts rollin' in...taken back on the tide We're balanced together.....Ocean upon the sky....
Another night..in this strange town...moonlight holdin' me..light as down Voice of confusion inside of me...just beggin' to go back..where I'm free Feels like I'm through...then the old man's words are true..
Chorus: "See the dog and butterfly..upin the air he like to try... Dog and butterfly..... Below..she had to try...and she rolled back down to the warm, soft ground With a little tear..in her eye.......... Dog and Butterfly She had to try.... Yeah, she had to try... Dog and Butterfly
