Butterfly on a Wheel

Silver and gold
And it's growing cold
Autumn leaves
Lay as thick as thieves

Shivers down your spine
Chill you to the bone
'Cause the mandolin wind
Is the melody that turns your heart to stone

The heat of your breath
Carves shadows on your mist
Every angel has a wish
But she never has been kissed

A broken dream
Hiding in your sleeve
Hiding in your smile
A secret you must keep the love cuts you deep

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

There's no scarlet in you
So lay your veil down for me
As sure as God made wine
You can wrap your arms around a memory

Take warmth from me
Autumn winds cut sharp as a knife and in the dark for me
You're the candle flame that flickers to life

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Wise men say
All is fair in love and war
And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings

Broken and torn
Crushed like a flower under the snow and like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings

Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
