Corinne Bailey Rae Lyrics
Butterfly
Written by Corinne Bailey Rae & Rod Bowkett
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 infinity 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
Color 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 gown
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
Color 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
