VENUS BUTTERFLY
Eternal child, forever wild,
She casts a spell of bright enchantment.
Here now there, without a care
For worldly rules and life’s commandment
Secret treasure, past all measure,
Hidden deep inside her chamber;
Buried long within a song
That threatens love’s exceeding danger.
[CHORUS]]
She’ll be there, but only for a while.
Winter’s come and she must run and smile.
She’s on the wings that lift her when she’s down.
Forever wild, forever free.
No cocoon, she seeks the moon –
Enticing summer midnight madness
Passion calls as daylight falls,
Betraying innocence and gladness.
[SAME MELODY AS CHORUS]
She feels the Venus flytrap closing in.
As fascination fades she can begin
Now to elude a lethal strong embrace –
A prison with a most beguiling face.
Escaped from trap, she needs no map
To tell her where her heart will send her.
Danger past, she’s free at last –
When love is cruel she won’t surrender
[REPEAT CHORUS]
