Butterfly Jar - Eddi Reader

Prettiest thing he ever saw

He’d been looking near and far

But he didn’t want the world to share

So he kept her in a butterfly jar

All the time his beauty slept

While he was watching in the dark

No one saw and no one knew

That he kept her in a butterfly jar

Life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on

It’s buzzing everywhere now, life goes on

No matter who you are, you’ll never stop it jumping like a

Spark into a heart

Wouldn’t it be the strangest thing

As we spin around this weary star

If all the time we never knew

We were living in a butterfly jar

Life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on

It’s buzzing everywhere now, life goes on

No matter who you are, you’ll never stop it jumping like a

Spark into a heart

Life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on

It’s buzzing everywhere now, life goes on

No matter who you are, you’ll never stop it jumping like a

Spark into a heart

Oh, heart

Prettiest thing he ever saw

He’d been looking near and far

But he didn’t want the world to share

So he kept her in a butterfly jar

Kept her in a butterfly jar

Kept her in a butterfly… jar
