Butterfly Jar Songtext
von Eddi Reader

Prettiest thing he ever saw
He′d been looking near and far
But he didn't want the world to share
So he kept her in a butterfly jar

All the time this beauty slept
While he was watching in the dark
No one saw, no one knew
He kept her in a butterfly jar

Life goes on
Around you everywhere
Now life goes on
It′s buzzing everywhere
Now life goes on
No matter who you are
You'll never stop it jumping
Like a spark into a heart


Wouldn't it be the strangest thing
As we spin around this weary star
If all the time we never knew
We′re living in a butterfly jar

Life goes on
Around you everywhere
Now life goes on
It′s buzzing everywhere
Now life goes on
No matter who you are
You'll never stop it jumping
Like a spark into a heart

Life goes on
Around you everywhere
Now life goes on
It′s buzzing everywhere
Now life goes on
No matter who you are
You'll never stop it jumping
Like a spark into a heart


Prettiest thing he ever saw
He′d been looking near and far
But he didn't want the world to share
So he kept her in a butterfly jar

(Kept her in a butterfly jar)
Kept her in a butterfly jar
(Kept her in a butterfly jar)
Kept her in a butterfly jar
(Kept her in a butterfly jar)
Kept her in a butterfly jar
(Kept her in a butterfly jar)
