Dog And Butterfly Lyrics

Performed by Heart

There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said "No, no, no, no, no child.

See the dog and butterfly. Up in the
Air he like to fly." Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try. She roll back down
To the warm soft ground laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers
Stealing your fires. The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're getting older the world's getting colder
For the life of me I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide
We're balanced together ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
No begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft
Ground with a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly

Take time to see beauty in the world | Reviewer: Rick | 12/17/11

Dog and Butterfly- one of my all time favourite songs. Not only do I love to listen to it, I also love to sing with it.
I think the message of the song is that we all worry about "frozen strangers stealing our fires," and get so stressed that we often forget (but are reminded by the grandfather in the song) that we need to just stop sometimes to drink in the simple and beautiful things around us, and come back to our lives refreshed and happy.

Isaw heart perform in courtenay b.c. back in the early 70's. They played at the community hall,it held about 1500 people,they were a grity strong band. There were few female lead singers at the time, the Wilson sisters were fore runners.
The dog and butterfly is a fine example of the girls powerful,melodic,voice
Yes it can and does bring tears.As well as a sense that things were fine back in the day. Have a good nite all. t.
