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
Them in a news paper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems
Like a century, and now I can
Barely breathe.
[Chorus:]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late.
Your words still serenade me
Your lullaby's won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting
Melody. Oh, it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe.
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away.
Like a crow chasing the Butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late.
Just a little too late.
