butterfly butterfly land on me pretty butterfly land on me chasing off the shadows left behind when you were here looking for a good dream waiting for the sky to clear butterfly land on me pretty butterfly land on me blinking in the sunlight airing out my winter clothes putting on some color resting on the open rose... i've been washing off all your lies standing on the edge while the waters rise butterfly land on me pretty butterfly land on me k.savoca © 2002  Alcove Music/BMI karen - acoustic guitar pete - ebowed acoustic guitar t-bone - bass

the mark it was a gift she could not keep nor bear to give away she threw it out into the snow and there it left a mark and there it left a mark i told you once i would not lie you laughed and called me fool but now you see that i was right and everything leaves a mark and everything leaves a mark you pass me on some distant road we blink and look away i swear to you one day we'll know that everyone leaves a mark that everyone leaves a mark so what if life is just a dream where no one ever wakes we touch each other one by one and always leave a mark and always leave a mark k.savoca © 2002  Alcove Music/BMI karen - vocals pete- ebowed guitars, bass pedals

everytime the sun goes low maple and cherry, here in the deep lay down your blankets, now go to sleep dogs in the hollow, makin' a noise everytime the sun goes low string and bright paper - tied together high in the window, so it can turn here in the twilight, it'll surprise you everytime the sun goes low it's quiet in the house it's quiet in the house this is a good fire, let the winds blow i look at you love, and then i know here in your long arms - i can find rest everytime the sun goes low & it's quiet in the house it's quiet in the house such a grey morning, i woke up blue where would i be if i didn't find you? there is no sorrow, your love can't heal everytime the sun goes low k.savoca © 2002  Alcove Music/BMI karen - piano, vocal
