「ButtErfly」の歌詞 Corinne Bailey Rae

in my mother's house there's a photograph of a
day gone past,
always makes me laugh.
there's a little girl wary of the world she's got
much to learn,
get her fingers burnt.
an affinity between you and me was a family.
said that i'd be fine,
gave me all your time and i left your side like a
butterfly.

shower me with your love,
colour everyday.
you make the milk-gold sun shine on me again,
lift me up so high,
watch me fly away,
and you give me life like a butterfly.

in my mother's house there was happiness,
i wrapped myself in it,
was my chrysalis.
as my life unfolds, see a pattern through of you
protecting me and i protecting you.
what was that you'd say?
"make your own mistakes and when you're
grown, make sure that you remain the same".
now i realise,
what was on your mind when i left your side like
a butterfly.

shower me with your love,
colour everyday.
you make the milk-gold sun shine on me again,
lift me up so high,
watch me fly away,
and you give me life like a butterfly.
