[C] You might wake up some morning _ [G] to the sound of something moving [C] past your window in the wind
And if you're [D] quick enough [G] to rise you'll [Dm] catch the fleeting [G] glimpse of someone's [C] fading shadow _ _ _ _
Out on the [Dm] new horizon _ [G] you may see the floating motion [C] of a distant pair of wings
And if the [Dm] sleep has [G] left your ears you [Dm] might hear footsteps [G] running through an open meadow
_ _ [C] _ _
Don't [Dm] be concerned, [G] it [C] will not harm you, it's [Dm] only me [G] pursuing something [C] I'm not sure of
Across my [G] dreams with nets of [C] wonder I [Dm] chased a bright [G] elusive [C] butterfly of love
_ _ You might have heard [F] my footsteps _ [G] echo softly through the distance [C] in the canyons of your mind
I [Dm] might have even [G] called your name as [Dm] I ran searching [G] after something [C] to believe in _
_ _ You might have seen [Dm] me running through [G] the long abandoned ruins of [C] someone I used to be
If you [Dm] remember [G] something there that [Dm] glided past you [G] followed close by [C] heavy breathing _ _
_ _ Don't be [Dm] concerned, [G] it will [C] not harm you, it's [Dm] only me pursuing [G] something I'm [C] not sure of
Across [Dm] my dreams [G] with nets of [C] wonder I chased [Dm] a bright [G] elusive butterfly [C] of love
