lyrics

(the tiger and the) butterfly
(linja meller)

long ago, winter didn’t pass
it was damn cold, she was harsh like glass
she spit flames out, expelled the ghosts and demons
from the forest and they cried

she was a fairy girl, appeared out of the snow
and a ghost’s lie, a lie she didn’t know
she was impatient, she couldn’t wait to go
she couldn’t be silent

oh she was so light, a soul flight
passed by at midnight here
and she was so light and so right
my butterfly, she disappeared like broken
glass

she was faint and pale, but words she didn’t know
but in one fairytale, she forced herself to go
but she worried, was captured, and she broke

oh she was so light, a soul flight
passed by at midnight here
and she was so light and so right
my butterfly, she disappeared like broken
glass

she was a tiger, but her bones broke when she jumped
she was a lion, but lost her voice when she roared
she was a butterfly, but her wings touched the sky

oh she was so light, a soul flight
passed by at midnight here
and she was so light and so right
my butterfly, she disappeared like broken
glass

oh i miss her so
my butterfly she did go
oh i miss her so
i still feel her in the snow
