The Kid with the Butterfly Net by Graham Parker Lyrics

She walks through the field
Walks in the heat through the field
She swings with her arm
But can what she catches be real

And when you look into her eyes
You see what you want
When everything was undone, every field was open Nothing was impossible yet
For the kid with the butterfly net
The kid with the butterfly net

There's a stream runs through this land
Runs through the heart of this land
There's a heart beats in this home
Beats in the heart of this home
And when you see her by the water
You see what you want to

And all the chains around you cannot keep you prisoner
They haven't been made yet
For the kid with the butterfly net
The kid with the butterfly net
And when you close your eyes you don't see a thing
You just remember that you were meant to have wings
For the kid with the butterfly net
The kid with the butterfly net

She runs through the field
Runs through the grass in the field
She swings with her arm
But can what she catches be real

And when you look into her eyes
You see what what you want to
And all the darkness in you
Flies out through the window

All the sunlight outside burns down inside you
All the chains around you could not keep you prisoner
They haven't been forged yet
For the kid with the butterfly net
For the kid with the butterfly net
For the kid with the butterfly net

The kid with the butterfly net
The kid with the butterfly net
