Butterfly on a Wheel

Mick Brown (UK), Craig Adams, Simon Hinkler, Wayne Hussey

[Verse 1]
Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone
'cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
The heat of your breath carving shadows in the mist
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed
A broken dream haunting in your sleep and hiding in your smile
A secret you must keep, love cuts you deep

[Chorus]
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

[Verse 2]
There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as god made wine, you can't wrap your arms around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold autumn wind cut sharp as a knife
And in the dark for me, you're the candle flame that flickers to life

[Chorus]
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

[Verse 3]
Wise man say all is fair in love and war
And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
And i could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings

[Chorus 2]
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

[Instrumental Outro]
