Michael Nesmith - Yellow Butterfly

The rain falls through Chicago skies
People stare and wonder why
And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly

A jaguar circles in the night
The jungle glistens by moonlight
And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly

All in all in all in all
Like an island waterfall
Days and nights revolve around
Her flying, silent sound

Mother wakes and Father turns
A candle flame surreally burns
And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly

All in all in all in all
Like an island waterfall
Days and nights revolve around
Her flying, silent sound

Mother wakes and Father turns
A candle flame surreally burns
And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly
A yellow butterfly
A yellow butterfly
A yellow butterfly
