Jeff Buckley Flutter Girl Lyrics

Flutter Girl Lyrics

and drinking dust

with eyes of rust

tonight my tears might stain your wings

so flutter home

'cause you're better off alone than with me



so hide your face

and tie your lace

and butterflies across your cheek

forget how soon

you'll become a fool for words when i speak



flutter girl

you don't want to know what i've lived

you don't want to take what i give

and i give nothing for free



you don't want to know what i've lived

you don't want to take what i give

and i give nothing for free



my hands are rough

my fingers cold

your heart's so young and so naive

to ever feel

for a moment that i might let you believe...



i'll melt your smile

i'll tear your wings

i'll color everything you see

so flutter home

'cause you're better off alone than with me



flutter girl

you don't want to know what i've lived

you don't want to take what i give

'cause i give nothing for free



and you don't want to know what i've lived

you don't want to take what i give

'cause i give nothing for free



(long solo...)



flutter girl

you don't want to know what i've lived

you don't want to take what i give

and i give nothing for free



you don't want to know what i've lived

flutter girl
