Brevity is everything everything is brevity I am a drowsy butterfly floating above a salty sea
I could vanish like an ocean mist would you notice anything? I am a love-sick butterfly grown heavy in the wing
There's a flower in my yard She blooms just for a day funny thing about it is I never heard her complain
Brevity is everything everything is brevity I am a drowsy butterfly floating above a salty sea
I could vanish like an ocean mist would you notice anything? I am a love-sick butterfly grown heavy in the wing
In a glimmer we are gone born on a fragrant wind at worst we are just dust at best we are pollen
And am I born to ramble on just to flutter towards the flame? In the stillness of the night oh, why do you call my name why do you call my name am I brought up just to fall again?
Brevity is everything everything is brevity I am a drowsy butterfly floating above a salty sea
