There I was with the old man - stranded agin, so off I ran
young world crashin' around me - no possibilities of gettin what I need
He loked at me and he smiled...-said "No, no, no, no..no child"
 [bad word] 
See the dog and butterfly...up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly.....
Below...she had to try....and she rolled back down to the warm, soft ground,
Laughin'...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...the frozen stranger stealin' your fires
The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find....
 [bad word] 
See the dog and butterfly..up in the air he like to fly...
Dog and butterfly....
Below..she had to try...and she rolled back down to the warm, soft ground
Laughin'.....up to the sky
Up to the sky..
Dog and Butterfly...

Bridge:
We're getting older...the world's getting colder
For the life of me...I don't know the reason why....
Maybe it's livin'...making us give in
Hearts rollin' in...taken back on the tide
We're balanced together.....Ocean upon the sky....

Another night..in this strange town...moonlight holdin' me..light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me...just beggin' to go back..where I'm free
Feels like I'm through...then the old man's words are [bad word] .
 [bad word] 
"See the dog and butterfly..upin the air he like to try...
Dog and butterfly.....
Below..she had to try...and she rolled back down to the warm, soft ground
With a little tear..in her eye..........
Dog and Butterfly
She had to try....
Yeah, she had to try...
Dog and Butterfly
