-Words and Music by Bob Lind
You might wake up some mornin`
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you`re quick enough to rise
You`ll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone`s fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don`t be concerned, it will not harm you
It`s only me pursuing somethin` I`m not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin`
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin`
Don`t be concerned, it will not harm you
It`s only me pursuing somethin` I`m not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
