Elusive Butterfly Lyrics

Val Doonican Elusive Butterfly

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 Through the distance in 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 someone I used to be.
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
