Look in my eyes shot with terror
Paralysed, you roll me over
I’m so dumb
And you’re so clever
Scrutinise my best endeavour
Come the day when I will leave
I might cry
You will bleed
Empty skies full of butterflies
Wings beat silent like air
Colours fade my promise torn
You said I’ll meet you there
Empty skies full of butterflies
Wings beat silent like air
Colours fade my promise torn
You said I’ll meet you there
Meet you there - there’s no one there
I left the sun in Africa
To be with you to fly
Cross the oceans licking flames
Every movement speaks your name
Come the day when I will leave
I might cry
You will bleed
Empty skies full of butterflies
Wings beat silent like air
Colours fade my promise torn
You said I’ll meet you there
Empty skies full of butterflies
Wings beat silent like air
Colours fade my promise torn
You said I’ll meet you there
Meet you there - there’s no one there
Empty skies full of butterflies
Wings beat silent like air
Colours fade my promise torn
You said I’ll meet you there
Empty skies full of butterflies
Wings beat silent like air
Colours fade my promise torn
You said I’ll meet you there
Meet you there - there’s no one there
