Butterfly Lyrics by Screaming Trees

Sweet Oblivion (Expanded Edition)

1992

[Verse 1]
Changing memories, they fade away
The hours and the days
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
[Chorus]
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well, I'm sick and I wanna go home
[Verse 2]
Up to an empty room, four walls around
Nothing to be found
Of empty promises in a lonesome town
Let me lay you down
[Chorus]
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well, I'm sick and I wanna go home
[Verse 3]
The changing memories, they fade away
In the hours and the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
[Chorus]
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
[Outro]
Well, I'm sick and I wanna go home
Said I'm sick and I wanna go home
