WINTER BUTTERFLY
Lyrics by Roger Coghill
Where do you go to in Autumn,..Butterfly?
When the leaves begin to fall
And birds in their evening branches
Forget their morning call.
Can you guide me to a castle,…Butterfly?
To a spot where my wings can dry
To a friendly, warm and quiet place,
Where I don’t need to cry.
Where do you go to in winter,..Butterfly?
When the snow lies on the ground,
When the sky is grey with thunder,
And the rain is pouring down.
Can you guide me to a harbour,..Butterfly?
Far away from wind and storm,
Where my shipwrecked heart can anchor
And the sea is calm and warm.
You must hide your heart with armour,..Little girl.
In a chrysalis like stone
So the insects cannot find you,
And the birds leave you alone.
Then one day the Spring will warm you,..Little girl.
And your heart will feel no pain
As your chrysalis breaks open
And you spread your wings again.
So time will heal your sadness,..Little girl.
And your body will feel new
As into the sky away you fly
And the sun will shine for you.
