Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Butterfly and a pretty mermaid
Mark the end of these Koonyum days
Gentle rain, brown snake skin
When something ends, something new begins
[Verse 2]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, men-a, ooh yeah, oh
Ooh yeah, ooh lucks-men-a, ooh yeah, oh
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, men-a, ooh yeah, oh
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, men-a, ooh yeah, oh
[Verse 3]
I need this time now to follow the mood
Gentle rain won't be ending soon
I walk with patience to the rainbow's end
If the spirit sees it, she'll be waiting there
[Verse 4]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, men-a, ooh yeah, oh
Ooh yeah, ooh lucks-men-a, ooh yeah, oh
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, men-a, ooh yeah, oh
Ooh yeah, oh, ooh yeah, oh
[Verse 5]
Butterfly and a pretty mermaid
