It's a sidewalk graveyard Of the caterpillar kind It's a love-thought unspoken, and it's dying in my mind So won't you lay me down on a daisy field spread it real soft and low I wanna see my butterfly before i go But the words escape me and they flutter through my head I try to reach up and catch them but their slipping through my net So won't you lay me down on a daisy field spread it real soft and low I wanna see my butterfly before i go But i'm always bruised up when i'm coming from your house But when you never lay a hand on me it always makes me sad I want the touch of your love wanna feel it real good and slow I wanna see my butterfly before I go It's a sidewalk graveyard Of the caterpillar kind It's a love-thought unspoken, and it's dying in my mind So won't you lay me down on a daisy field spread it real soft and low I wanna see my butterfly before I go
