The Backyard Of My Life
The Girl In A Butterfly City
Watercolor sun set on a diamond highway
Looking through the long grass
Walking in the fields of gold
Hanging from a cloudburst
Rushing past the junkyard
With flowers in her hair
Carrying a bucket full of moonbeams
Writing in her little book of day dreams
She spreads her wings her eyes proud and pretty
The most beautiful girl in a butterfly city
She is like a candle burning flame
Gone with the wind lost in the rain
Mysterious magnolia midnight its cold outside
You can see your breath in the air
Footprints in a white winter blanket
Holding on to snowflakes
She ducks inside a doorway
Wearing rose red suede shoes
There's a neon sign in a shop window
Suddenly suggesting where she needs to go
So she spreads her wings isn't it a pity
Locked out and frozen in a butterfly city
She is like a whirl wind in the black of night
Lonely blue tears sparkle in the twilight
Like driftwood on the lake
She stops to take a break
So she might make a moment for herself
Starring at the giant graffiti on the subway wall
Sitting there in silence waiting for an angel to call
Eternal echoes eclipse the concrete jungle
Dancing in to somebody elses hands
Flying across a mountain made of fire
Letting go of smoke rings
Tip toeing in a graveyard
With silver stars on her torn jeans
Playing a trumpet for the gatekeeper
She knows not to wake a day sleeper
She spreads her wings her eyes proud and pretty
The most beautiful girl in a butterfly city
She is like a candle burning flame
Gone with the wind lost in the rain
