Butterfly Nets

Artist: Bishop Allen

Album: The Broken String

Lyrics

calm that wicked wind,

to pick you up

and carry you off eastward,

though i did release you

for to seek a warmer sky

should you be blown back

know that i will always run to greet you,

still surprised to catch you

every time

armed with this small butterfly net

i will face the world alone

& never be lonely

so calm that wicked wind,

& if you go, you could be gone forever

i will play awhile here

by & by & by & by -

armed with this small butterfly net

i will face the world alone

& never be lonely

up & up you go

for to steal the secrets of the heavens

will you share them with me

my bright & brilliant spy?

should you be blown back

know that i will always run to greet you

still surprised to catch you

every time

still surprised to catch you

by & by & by & by

When I first heard this song my heart broke and grew and darkened and became light all at once. That is the best I can do to describe it. I have many favorite songs,but this one is far,far beyond that category. Thank you,Bishop Allen.
