Butterfly - Luke Ritchie[00:00:00]

I caught it with both hands[00:00:14]

My little butterfly[00:00:16]

I took it on a whim[00:00:19]

It took me by surprise[00:00:22]

To find it on my path[00:00:25]

My sullen march to work[00:00:27]

I cupped it in my grasp[00:00:30]

Like a flame so thin[00:00:34]

A flame that never burns[00:00:39]

I held it to my chest[00:00:47]

And smuggled it back home [00:00:50]

It shivered at my palms[00:00:52]

The thought of what awaits[00:00:55]

A sample on a board[00:00:58]

A piercing through the chest[00:01:01]

A steady hand to prise[00:01:03]

Arms out wide and then firmly pinned[00:01:08]

Pressed to the wood all waxed and stiff[00:01:11]

Sometimes I fear I can't handle this[00:01:13]

The pace and the scale of remorselessness[00:01:16]

Even the kids here would tear its wings[00:01:19]

Rip out her colours all paper thin[00:01:22]

These are the things you can't shrink from this[00:01:24]

Weep for the stalk of a fallen leaf[00:01:27]

Take what I can and then leave the rest[00:01:30]

Keep it safe in one gripped fist[00:01:33]

I let her in my home[00:01:43]

I let her find her way[00:01:45]

It's here that we'll forget[00:01:48]

Only for today[00:01:51]

Just within these walls[00:01:53]

She'll never see it all[00:01:56]

She's fading in my arms[00:01:59]

With a breath so faint[00:02:02]

A voice that never spoke[00:02:07]

Sometimes I fear I can't handle this[00:02:14]

The pace and the scale of remorselessness[00:02:17]

Even the kids here would tear its wings[00:02:20]

Rip out her colours all paper thin[00:02:23]

These are the things you can't shrink from this[00:02:25]

Weep for the stalk of a fallen leaf[00:02:28]

Take what I can and then leave the rest[00:02:31]

Keep it safe in one gripped fist[00:02:33]

One gripped fist[00:02:41]
