As though you were born
And so you thought
The future's ours
To keep and hold

A child within
Has healing ways
It sees me through
My darkest days

I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine

In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams

Something now
Through life no fun
I want to feel
I want to run

I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine

In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams

I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly

In my private dreams
In my private dreams
In my private dreams
My lucid dreams

My forgotten schemes
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you

You see through me
Be with me
Be with me
I see through you

You see through me
I see through you
You see through me

To be in your eyes
To be in your eyes

    General Comment:This is a beautiful residual of the Monarch Experiment. Mad Richard is one of the Best Butterflys to Flutterby. Thank You, Your Excellency ! I am eternally at your service, although rather nervous. They don't deserve us !!!

    General Comment:Yeah this is the verve at their most boring and irritating. Luckyman, sonnet, bitter sweet symphony, history, all in the mind, this is music and love is noise are the best songs, all the rest are just pretentious and plain annoying.

    General Comment:I think it is reliving the days which you value most, and days which you were happiest are the ones which plague your memory. Embrace those feelings and only let in the good times. It's not letting go of what you once had : )


    Lovely x
