Lyrics

BLUEWING C) Susan C Haworth 2019
V1
Those purple boots are still on my verandah
Those worn out leathers fit me like a glove
My heartache grows just like the jacarandah
Missing today is hard sweet love
V2
I never saw you coming just your leaving
Searching high and low but in plain sight
but now we're left with hearts and souls agrieving
A candle burns for you most every night.
CH
And the storm clouds gather but the rains not falling'
The words we never said are just a sigh
And something in my eye catches the light against the window
Your back here as my bluewing butterfly x2
Mid 8
Butterfly please stay
I'll make a garden just for you this day
Oh butterfly so true
Just know we're missing you
Just know we're missing you
V3
Now and then those boots they jog my memory
The jacarandah flowers make it plain
If only we had time to say I love you and goodbye
Butterfly might still come back again.
CH
And the storm clouds gather but the rains not falling'
The words we never said are just a sigh
And something in my eye catches the light against the window
Your back here as my bluewing butterfly x2
CH
Now the storm clouds gather but the rains not falling'
The words we never said are just a sigh
And something in my eye catches the light against the window
Your back here as my bluewing butterfly x3
