Aretha Franklin - Elusive Butterfly

You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind (wind)
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow (shadow)
Yes, you will now
Out on the new horizon
You may see a floating motion of a distant pair of wings (pair of wings now)
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow (meadow)
Yes, you will now (yes, you will now)

Don't be concerned, 'cause I won't harm you
It's only me pursuin' somethin' that I'm not sure of
Across my dreams (across my dreams)
With nets of wonder (nets of wonder)
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Yes, I do now

You might have seen me runnin' (runnin')
Along the band on the ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there that glided past you
Followed by heavy breathing (heavy breathing)
Well, don't you do it (don't you do it)

Don't be concerned, 'cause I won't harm you
It's only me pursuin' somethin' that I'm not sure of
Across my dreams (across my dreams)
With my nets of wonder (nets of wonder)
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Yes, I do now (yes, I do now)
I'm right behind you (right behind you)
The elusive butterfly of love
I'm right behind you
The elusive butterfly of love
