about

Let no man be robbed the feeling of fluttering butterflies in his belly from time to time.

lyrics

EMILY’S EYES

I was driving myself crazy
Nearly out of my mind
I was singing about a lost love
I was singing about hard times

I was trying to write a new song
Find a line I hadn’t used
In the three-hundred songs before
And themes worn out by my muse

Chorus:
Then I thought I saw a sign
That butterflies are still alive
Deep in her eyes
If love truly shines light
I bet it looks a lot like
Emily’s eyes

Some nights I feel like a poet
Some nights I feel like a clown
Some nights it could go either way
Depending on the town

There were nights I could move a mountain
Had ‘em in the palm of my hand
There were nights no one would listen
And I could barely raise my head


Chorus

I was floating on the high plains
Cosmic dust just passing through
She took me in with a deep breath
And then I was born anew

Chorus
