The Crow & the Butterfly (iTunes Session) Songtext
von Shinedown

I painted your room at midnight
So I′d know yesterday was over
I put all your books on the top shelf
Even the one with the four-leaf clover
Man I'm getting older

I took all your pictures off the wall
And wrapped ′em in a newspaper blanket
And I haven't slept in what seems like a century
And now I can barely breathe

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought that you would slip away
I guess I was just a little too late


Your words still serenade me
And your lullabies won′t let me sleep
I′ve never heard such a haunting melody
And oh it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin′ high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin′ high as outer space
I never thought that you would slip away

Like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you would slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

Oh oh oh, just a little too late
