Goodbye, Butterfly

for you the silver lining rules the sky
like a reigning buddha in your eye
the glass is never on its way to empty
and I'm frightened dear that someday soon it will be

now you can't take me with you
'cause I can't get that high
but I will surely miss you
goodbye, butterfly

for you the flowers grow but never die
and comets are just friendly passers-by
it's easy to be brave among the darkness
for one who doesn't notice when the sun sets

now you can't take me with you
'cause I can't get that high
but I will surely miss you
goodbye, butterfly

if tragedy should fall upon the masses
you'll just mark the map
and head to greener grasses
you're rarely down to earth enough to probe it
but you look so damn beautiful in orbit

now you can't take me with you
'cause I can't get that high
but I will surely miss you
goodbye, butterfly

you can't take me with you
'cause I can't get that high
but I will surely miss you
goodbye, butterfly

yeah, I will surely miss you
goodbye, butterfly

goodbye, butterfly

goodbye, butterfly
