"A butterfly speaks with a beautiful lady and convinces her to trade places..."

Lady, oh, lady
Care for dreams of butterflies?
Give you the dreams
And their velvet wings
To wear you're hair
To know your heart
To love your lover
When the day gets dark

Would it be nice
To drop on
Every flower that you see?
Play with me
Come trade with me
Drink from the cup
Then lay back
You can see
You can see

And now that I am you
And you are me
Together and forever
That's the way it must be
The cup has no cure
That's part of its lure
Close
Close

strangely haunting sound, i enjoyed it

What a lovely piece of magic! The images and the soft strains of acoustic guitar fill the senses! Adding additional instrumentation at the end an unexpected surprise.

love the song. done well! Thanks for the listen

Loved this! really good vocal performance, well recorded and arranged. Great finger style acoustic, again, very well recorded and performed, nice runs and phrasing with interesting chord changes. I really like the vocal at the 2.40 mark, dreamy and totally absorbed in the mix. Thanks, best I've heard for a while, Good luck with this, it deserves to be heard!!

I was immeiately impressed by the beautifully simple and well executed acoustic work. The instrumental melody had an emotional impact in and of itself. Your beautiful voice and touching lyrics were a perfectly moving counterpart to the touching guitar melody. Everything about this song simply fit together perfectly. I truly enjoyed this one and I most certainly plan on enjoying this beautiful song a few more times. :)

beautiful toned vocal. well executed guitar. nice piece of folk . the vocal really is the thing which sells this track.

Nice acoustic intro to this piece. good intro length. Beautiful vocals entrance and vocal performance overall. Lovely. Great balanced recording. Well-voiced chords. Really sets a mood well. I could see this in a film or TV sound track.

great old fashioned folk, lovely vocal and melody! most of the battle, no?

Lovely, tender love song. Pleasant guitar that accompanies the voice without overpowering it.
Unfortunately the last 1/3 of the song went mute - but I had heard enough to form a very positive opinion. A beautiful ballad.

Pretty, well played and recorded guitar. Very nice, smooth vocal performance. Lovely melody and chord progressions.

Really lovely song........great vocal........very atmospheric...........
