I painted your room at midnight
So I'd know yesterday was over
I put all your books on the top shelf
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Man, I'm getting olderI took all your pictures off the wall
And wrapped 'em in a newspaper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
And now I can barely breatheJust like a crow chasing a butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too lateYour words still serenade me
Your lullabies won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting melody
Oh, it's killing me
You know I can barely breatheJust like a crow chasing a butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too lateJust like a crow chasing a butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip awayLike a crow chasing a butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Oh, just a little too late
