You might wake up some morning.

To the sound of something moving

And if you're quick enough to rise

you'll catch the fleeting glimpse
C F Fmaj7
of someone's fading shadow.
Verse 2
F Fmaj7 Gm C Gm
Out on the new horizon, you may see

the floating motions of a

distant pair of wings.

And if the sleep has left your ears

you might hear footsteps running
C F Fmaj7 F
through an open meadow.

It's only me pursuing something

Across my dreams, with nets of wonder.

I chase the bright elusive
C F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7
butterfly of love.

F Fmaj7 Gm C
You might have heard my footsteps.

Echo softly in the distance through

the canyons of your mind.

I might have even called your name

as I ran searching after something
F Fmaj7
to believe in.
Verse 4
F Fmaj7 Gm C
You might have seen me running.
Gm C
Through the long abandoned ruins of

the dreams you left behind.

that glided past you followed
C F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7
close by heavy breathing.
