《Butterfly》歌词

[00:00:00] Butterfly - Luke Ritchie

[00:00:14] I caught it with both hands

[00:00:16] My little butterfly

[00:00:19] I took it on a whim

[00:00:22] It took me by surprise

[00:00:25] To find it on my path

[00:00:27] My sullen march to work

[00:00:30] I cupped it in my grasp

[00:00:34] Like a flame so thin

[00:00:39] A flame that never burns

[00:00:47] I held it to my chest

[00:00:50] And smuggled it back home

[00:00:52] It shivered at my palms

[00:00:55] The thought of what awaits

[00:00:58] A sample on a board

[00:01:01] A piercing through the chest

[00:01:03] A steady hand to prise

[00:01:08] Arms out wide and then firmly pinned

[00:01:11] Pressed to the wood all waxed and stiff

[00:01:13] Sometimes I fear I can't handle this

[00:01:16] The pace and the scale of remorselessness

[00:01:19] Even the kids here would tear its wings

[00:01:22] Rip out her colours all paper thin

[00:01:24] These are the things you can't shrink from this

[00:01:27] Weep for the stalk of a fallen leaf

[00:01:30] Take what I can and then leave the rest

[00:01:33] Keep it safe in one gripped fist

[00:01:43] I let her in my home

[00:01:45] I let her find her way

[00:01:48] It's here that we'll forget

[00:01:51] Only for today

[00:01:53] Just within these walls

[00:01:56] She'll never see it all

[00:01:59] She's fading in my arms

[00:02:02] With a breath so faint

[00:02:07] A voice that never spoke

[00:02:14] Sometimes I fear I can't handle this

[00:02:17] The pace and the scale of remorselessness

[00:02:20] Even the kids here would tear its wings

[00:02:23] Rip out her colours all paper thin

[00:02:25] These are the things you can't shrink from this

[00:02:28] Weep for the stalk of a fallen leaf

[00:02:31] Take what I can and then leave the rest

[00:02:33] Keep it safe in one gripped fist

[00:02:41] One gripped fist
