Butterflies are white and blue
In this field we wander through
Suffer me take your hand
Death comes in a day or two

All the things we never knew
Will be ashes in that hour
Mark the transient butterfly
How he hangs upon the flower

Suffer 'em to take your hand
Suffer me to cherish you
'Til the dawn is in the sky
Whether I be false or true
Death comes in a day or two

Floating, dancing, illuminating
Falling, drinking, electrifying

Ooh

And tonight
A butterfly will breathe
You and I will see it in a dream
When the moonlight
Fills my mind with your love
I'll see you in a day or two
Floating (ma-), dancing (ri-), illuminating (posa)
Falling (ma-), drinking (ri-), electrifying (posa)

Ooh

Butterflies are white and blue
In this field we wander through
Suffer me take your hand
Death comes in a day or two

All the things we never knew
Will be ashes in that hour
Mark the transient butterfly
How he hangs upon the flower

Suffer 'em to take your hand
Suffer me to cherish you
'Til the dawn is in the sky
Whether I be false or true
Death comes in a day or two
