Recorded Butterflies

Recorded butterflies in the twilight
Sneak out the closet
Memories are too gentle yet cruel
Quietly stealing the magic
From my view
An unending dream alone

Stay with me tonight
So these tears can shine in the sky
Stay with me tonight
Falling diamond droplets
Reflect my eyes

I bury it in the back garden
Cover it with sticks and leaves
The hidden pain's voice overflows
Pink avalanches crash down
And seal my eyelids
My heart frozen in place

Stay with me tonight
Shooting stars glide hot through the dark
Stay with me tonight
Let the light remind me
Hold me

Stay with me tonight
With you, I can face the rain

Stay with me tonight
So these tears can shine in the sky
Stay with me tonight
Falling diamond droplets
Reflect my eyes

Stay with me tonight
Shooting stars glide hot through the dark
Stay with me tonight
Let the light remind me
Hold me
