Lyrics Butterfly Nets - Bishop Allen

Butterfly Nets

Come 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 come that wicked wind
& if you go, you could be gone forever
I will wait 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 —
