Butterfly on a wheel by The Mission
from the album Carved in sand
DSilver and gold, and it's Bmgrowing cold
GAutumn leaves lay as F#mthick as thieves
DShivers down your spine, Bmchill you to the bone,
cause the Gmandling wind is the F#mmelody that turns your heart to stone
The Dheat of your breath carvin Bmshadows in the mist
Every Gangel has the wish, she's F#mnever been kissed
DA broken dream, Bmhaunting in your sleep
GHiding in your smile, a F#msecret you must keep love cuts you deep.
BmLove breaks the wings of a butterfly on a Awheel
BmLove breaks the wings of a butterfly on a Awheel
DThere's no scarlet in you, lay a Bmfair down for me
Sure has got me Gtwined, you can't F#mwrap you arms around a memory
Take Dwarmth from me, Bmcold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife
but in the Gdark for me you're the F#mcandle flame that flikkers to light
BmLove breaks the wings of a butterfly on a Awheel
BmLove will break the wings of a butterfly on a Awheel
BmLove breaks the wings of a butterfly on a Awheel
BmLove will break the wings of a butterfly on a Awheel
DWise men say all is Bmfair in love and war
And there's no Gright or wrong in the design of love
And F#mI could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
DBroken and torn, Bmcrushed like a flower under the snow
and like the Gflower in the spring, F#mlove will rise again to heal your wings
BmLove heals the wings of a butterfly on a Awheel
BmLove will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wAheel
BmLove heals the wings of a butterfly on a wAheel
BmLove will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wAheel
