Elusive Butterfly Lyrics


Artist: Glen Campbell
Album: Hey Little One



You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon you may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name as I ran searching after something to believe in You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long abandonned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
I chase the bright butterfly of love I chase the bright butterfly of love
Bu-bu-bu-butterfly of love bu-bu-bu-butterfly of love

I heard this song on the loudspeaker in Shoprite last week and remembered that I had taught myself the(3)chords 50 years ago. When I picked up a guitar over the weekend I realized that I had forgotten the words. The time span here with the commercial deployment say more about this tune than I can. Thanks for the lyrics. (Didn't know it was rhinestone cowboy.) Michael

This is perhaps the most vomit-inducing song written in the past forty years (and there have been a lot of them). The lyrics are nebulous and silly and impossible. And it the only example of iambic undecameter meter in my experience. There's a reason for that. This is even worse than Scott Macenzie's If You Go to San Francisco Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair. Right!

I sent a message to my lover last night I was going to bed hoping to enter his dreams. It was 10 PM Chicago and 5 AM in Madrid where he was at for business. I drifted to sleep with romantic thoughts of him. Early the next morning I went to my mom's and she was trying to recall a song, and remembering, sang Butterfly's of Love... weird, the lyrics supported my niotic science experiment of the night before. After, my friend called me to share the most vivid dream he awoke from around 5 AM Madrid time. Who is foolish? We had fun with the nebulous, silly and, possible!
