Eddi Reader - Butterfly Jar

prettiest thing he ever saw
hed been looking near and far
but he didnt want the world to share
so he kept her in a butterfly jar

all the time his beauty slept
while he was watching in the dark
no one saw and no one knew
that he kept her in a butterfly jar

life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on
its buzzing everywhere now, life goes on
no matter who you are, youll never stop it jumping like a
spark into a heart

wouldnt it be the strangest thing
as we spin around this weary star
if all the time we never knew
we were living in a butterfly jar

life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on
its buzzing everywhere now, life goes on
no matter who you are, youll never stop it jumping like a
spark into a heart

life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on
its buzzing everywhere now, life goes on
no matter who you are, youll never stop it jumping like a
spark into a heart
oh, heart

prettiest thing he ever saw
hed been looking near and far
but he didnt want the world to share
so he kept her in a butterfly jar {butterfly jar}
kept her in a butterfly jar
kept her in a butterfly... jar
