Where Butterflies Sleep

Where Butterflies Sleep

It’s no sin to begin
When the clock’s ticking down our moment.
You can’t punish time so you hold me to ransom
With your smile.
You won’t hold me through the night
Yet you bind me with your eyes,
Keep me with what you don’t say, or won’t say
Because you don’t want to hurt me.
But it hurts to be touched
And then left…
Wanting
Because you say that you don’t want to hurt me.

I’ve been waiting for you.
I knew that we’d meet.
But the timing was wrong
And I was wrong,
And you were wrong
And we were wrong
But it’s no sin
To begin
When the clock’s ticking down our moment.

You won’t tell me the day of the rainbow.
I can’t ask you the colour of the week.
I guess I’ll never know what the eagles know.
And where do the butterflies sleep?
I don’t know what you want, what you're thinking
I just want to hold onto your hand.
And if life wasn’t moving you on,
I wonder where we’d stand
But I can ask you to hold me tonight.
I can want you to need me right now.
To have me and love me but only till dawn,
Tomorrow will come when you’re gone.

I’ve been waiting for you.
I knew that we’d meet.
But the timing was wrong,
And I was wrong,
And you were wrong,
And we were wrong,
But it’s no sin
To begin
When the clock’s ticking down our moment.

What becomes of the left behind swan?
How can we tell if raindrops weep?
Why do monkeys look so sad?
And where do the butterflies sleep?
The clock won’t be still for could be lovers.
Time’s moving on towards taking you home.
Maybe I’m crazy, chasing no chances.
And I wait for your voice on the phone.
You say you won’t love me tonight.
Is it wrong to make memories to keep.
Would you want me if you weren’t going away?
And where do the butterflies sleep?

I’ll wait for you.
I know that we’ll meet,
When the timings not wrong,
And I’m not wrong,
And you’re not wrong,
And we’re not wrong,
`Cause it’s no sin
To begin
When time knows where butterflies sleep.
