The Butterfly (original)

fly away, love
you're beholden to no one
run as far, and as fast as you can
fly away, love
the summer is over
and the cold winter frost has control
although i love you,
i'm bound here with chains
more solid, and stronger than iron
although i love you,
i know i can't keep you
and your wild ethereal beauty
although i love you,
you're going to leave me
and i'm finally starting to see.
fly away, love
and pray to the sky
wrap yourself in a blanket of stars
fly away, love
from this sad lonely town
with all of it's melancholy people
fly away, love
to a place where the sun shines
and never again think of me
fly away love,
fly fly away
fly away, although i love you.
