Just Like A Butterfly That's Caught In The Rain

Here I am, lonely, Tired and lonely, Crying for home in vain, Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain! Longing for flowers, Dreaming of hours Back in the sun-kissed lane, Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain! I know that all of the world is cheery By that old cottage door, Why are my wings so weary? I can't fly any more! Here I am praying, Brokenly saying, "Give me the sun again!", Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain! When it's raining from the sky, And I see a butterfly, I can almost hear him sighing 'Cause he has to stop his flying. I can easily sympathise With those helpless butterflies! Here I am, lonely, Tired and lonely, Crying for home in vain, Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain! Longing for flowers, Dreaming of hours Back in the sun-kissed lane, Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain! I know that all of the world is cheery By that old cottage door, Why are my wings so weary? I can't fly any more! Here I am praying, Brokenly saying, "Give me the sun again!", Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain! --- Just Like a Butterfly That's Caught in the Rain - Diana Krall
