BUTTERFLY ON A WHEEL

.

.

silver and gold

and it's growing cold

autumn leaves

lay as thick as thieves

shivers down your spine

chill you to the bone

'cos the mandolin wind

is the melody that turns your heart to stone

the heat of your breath

carving shadows on the mist

every angel has the wish

that she's never been kissed

a broken dream

haunting in your sleep

and hiding in your smile

a secret you must keep

love cuts you deep

.

love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

.

there's no scarlet in you,

lay your veil down for me

as sure as God made wine,

you can't wrap your arms

around a memory

take warmth from me,

cold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife

and in the dark for me,

you're the candle flame that flickers to life

.

love breaks the wings of a butterlfy on a wheel

love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

.

wise men say

all is fair in love and war

there's no right or wrong in the design of love

and i could only watch as the wind crushed your wings

broken and torn

crushed like the flower under the snow

and like the flower in spring

love will rise again to heal your wings

.

love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

.
