I had nothing to say, on Christmas day When you threw all your clothes in the snow When you burnt your hair Knocked over chairs I just tried to stay out of your way But when you fell asleep with blood on your teeth I got in my car and drove away
Listen to me, Butterfly There's only so much wine You can drink in one life But it will never be enough To save you from the bottom of your glass
Where the state highway starts I stopped my car I got out and stared up at the stars As meteors died and shot cross the sky I thought about your sad, shining eyes I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rose But you were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me, Butterfly There's only so much wine You can drink in one life But it will never be enough To save you from the bottom of your glass.
