Just Like A Butterfly That's Caught In The Rain - Diana Krall

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!
