Aretha Franklin Elusive Butterfly song lyrics
You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something
Moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise

You'll catch a fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion
Of a distant pair of wings

And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps
Running through an open meadow

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance
Through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name

As I ran searching
After something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long abandoned ruins
Of the dreams you left behind

If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close
By heavy breathin'

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
