There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting 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 roll back down to the warm soft ground laughing
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
Wrestling with your desires
Frozen strangers stealing 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 roll back down to the warm soft ground laughing
To the sky
Up to the sky
Dog and butterfly
We're getting older
