The Mission
Butterfly on a Wheel from the album Carved in Sand (1990)
Verse 1:
D Bm
Silver and gold, and it's growing cold
G F#m
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
D Bm
Shivers down your spine, chill you to the bone,
G F#m
cause the mandling wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
D Bm
The heat of your breath carvin shadows in the mist
G F#m
Every angel has the wish, she's never been kissed
D Bm
A broken dream, haunting in your sleep
G F#m
Hiding in your smile, a secret you must keep love cuts you deep.
Chorus:
Bm A
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Bm A
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Verse 2:
D Bm
There's no scarlet in you, lay a fair down for me
G F#m
Sure has got me twined, you can't wrap you arms around a memory
D Bm
Take warmth from me, cold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife
G F#m
but in the dark for me you're the candle flame that flikkers to light
Chorus: x2 times
Bridge:
D Bm
Wise men say all is fair in love and war
G
And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
F#m
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
D Bm
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
G F#m
and like the flower in the spring, love will rise again to heal your wings
Chorus 2:
Bm A
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Bm A
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Bm A
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Bm A
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
