Heart - Dog & Butterfly Lyrics

There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashin' around me
No possibilities of gettin' what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said, "No, no, no, no, no child"

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try

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
Wrestlin' with your desires
Frozen strangers, stealin' your fires
The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find

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' to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're gettin' older, the world's gettin' colder
For the love 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

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 with a little tear in her eye, yeah
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly, yeah

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
But she had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly
