Black Butterfly Lyrics - Laura Veirs

Goodbye black butterfly 

You can take those perfect wings 

Into outer space 

'Cos there's no place left in this blood 

For your restless fluttering 

Your sleepless ways 

Black butterfly flutter me by 

Kick a little bitter into the night 

Spark of the stars leaving on my heart 

Trying to be good by you 

Alright, alright 

Salt breeze rose city sunset 

The bats are swinging 'round me 

Like drunken ships 

Ever - evergreen bows above me tower 

Singin' quiet stories 'bout forgiveness

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Black butterfly flutter me by 

Kick a little bitter into the night 

Spark of the stars leaving on my heart 

Trying to be good by you 

Alright, alright 

Alright, alright (x4) 

Alright, alright 

*** Thanx a lot to Carly for this one *** 

Wrecking 

Looting the destroyed 

Vessels of the sea 

I wondered if the waves 

Had taken all of me 

All of me back 

Down to the black 

Down to the where the worms reign silent and green 

Silent 

Photos 

We can do some wrecking here 

Til a little color 

Comes into your face 

We can do some wrecking here 

And find something to love 

In this broken place 

This broken place 

And the king is a hand 

And slaps you like a wave 

And shackles you down 

Bound like an anchored chain in the sand 

Sends your ships to the rocks 

Sends the keys to the lock of the chain 

On your heart 

To the mouth of a serpent 

And his scaly glass shards 

He's holding all the cards 

And waiting in the waves 

With the poker face 

And no trail to trace 

No trail to trace 

We can do some wrecking here 

Til a little color comes into your face 

We can do some wrecking here 

And find something to love 

In this broken place 

This broken place
