Butterfly Child
from The Rhythm You Started by Sophie Madeleine
lyrics
Butterfly child is leaving. Flutter of red and gold
Fickle and wild, she's fleeing
Love that has now grown old.
Taking the next air current.
Catching the breeze that blows.
Butterfly child is keeping the moss from off her stone.
Butterfly child is teasing, playing the game so well
Sheʼs already won, before its begun
by catching you with her spell
Stealing your best intentions.
Soaking up all your worth
Butterfly child has only to smile.
She wonʼt have to say a word
But I wont let you feel it when she goes
No I wont leave you bleeding in the cold
Oh you can share my shelter
and I'll melt your frozen heart
ʻTil butterfly child is nothing but only a fading scar
..Butterfly child is stunning carrying on her show
but after a while she's nothing,
with nowhere to call a home...
But I wont let you feel it when she goes
No I wont leave you bleeding in the cold
Oh you can share my shelter
and I'll melt your frozen heart
ʻTil butterfly child is nothing but only a fading scar
Fickle and wild, she's fleeing
Love that has now grown old.
Taking the next air current.
Catching the breeze that blows.
Butterfly child is keeping the moss from off her stone.
Butterfly child is teasing, playing the game so well
Sheʼs already won, before its begun
by catching you with her spell
Stealing your best intentions.
Soaking up all your worth
Butterfly child has only to smile.
She wonʼt have to say a word
But I wont let you feel it when she goes
No I wont leave you bleeding in the cold
Oh you can share my shelter
and I'll melt your frozen heart
ʻTil butterfly child is nothing but only a fading scar
..Butterfly child is stunning carrying on her show
but after a while she's nothing,
with nowhere to call a home...
But I wont let you feel it when she goes
No I wont leave you bleeding in the cold
Oh you can share my shelter
and I'll melt your frozen heart
ʻTil butterfly child is nothing but only a fading scar

I host a university radio show called "Earth Tracks" Wednesdays noon to 2 pm EST at CLKU (Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada) and I will be playing your "Love Cakes" song on tomorrow's show. The theme tomorrow is Lammas and I found your song searching for tunes that suit this pagan/Celtic sabbat. I was enchanted with your vocals and humour. Having had a beard for most of my 62 years, I also loved your Beardsong! We broadcast over the net at www.cklu.ca
