Black Butterfly

(album: Odessa - 2015)

Oh the wings the black butterfly don't answer when you speak to it
We won't talk about what happened last night
And the house on the corner burned down and now they can see inside
We don't look too happy but I guess we'll make it alright

The sun comes up, the sun goes down on the railroad tracks in the middle of town
The space between us grows everyday
Oh love comes up, loves goes down as we break our backs
To the sound of the space that grows between us everyday

Oh the sting of the mother bee burns, but you can't help yourself
You are drawn to it like a child to the fire
And you wait to wear the crown and sit upon the throne
You wanna be the one they want and adore

The sun comes up, the sun goes down on the railroad tracks in the middle of town
The space between us grows everyday
Oh love comes up, loves goes down as we break our backs
To the sound of the space that grows between us everyday

Oh, but now, I see [x4]

The sun comes up, the sun goes down on the railroad tracks in the middle of town
The space between us grows everyday
Oh love comes up, loves goes down as we break our backs
To the sound of the space that grows between us everyday
