Butterfly
Dave Matthews Band · Other Songs - Dave Matthews Band
I am not a lucky man...
You are like a butterfly
A Catipillars dream to fly
So bust out of this old cocoon
And dry your wings off
Butterfly
Go ahead, and fly
Its always such a lonely loom
Its sudden like a broken bone
And your luck wont always come along
So dry your tears away
Butterfly
Go ahead and fly
Dry your tears away
Butterfly
Don't you, Cry
