Elusive Butterfly
Recorded by Glen Campbell written by Bob Lind
C Dm
You might wake up some morning
G7 C
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
Dm G7
And if you're quick enough to rise
Dm G7 C
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Dm G7
Out on the new horizon you may see
C
The floating motion of a distant pair of wings
Dm G7
And if the sleep has left your ears
Dm G7 C
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Dm G7 C
Don't be concerned it will not harm you
G7 C
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Dm G7 C
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
G7 C
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Dm G7
You might have heard my footsteps echo softly
C
In the distance through the canyons of your mind
Dm G7
I might have even called your name
Dm G7 C
As I ran searching after something to believe in
Dm G7
You might have seen me running through the long
C
Abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
Dm G7
If you remember something there
Dm G7 C
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Dm G7 C
Don't be concerned it will not harm you
G7 C
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Dm G7 C
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
G7 C
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
