Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here I am lonely, tired and lonely
Crying for home in vain
Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain
[Verse 2]
Longing for flowers, dreaming of hours
Back in the sun-kissed lane
Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain
[Verse 3]
I know that all of the world is cheery
By that old cottage door
Why are my wings so weary?
I can't fly anymore
[Verse 4]
Here I am praying, brokenly saying
Give me the sun again
Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain
[Verse 5]
When it's rainin' from the sky
And I see a butterfly
I can almost hear him sighing
'Cause he has to stop his flying
I could easily sympathize
With those helpless butterflies
[Verse 6]
Here I am lonely, tired and lonely
Crying for home in vain
Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain
[Verse 7]
I know all the world is cheery
By that old cottage door
Why are my wings so weary?
I can't fly anymore
[Verse 8]
Here I am praying, brokenly saying
Brokenly saying
Give me the sun again
Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain
[Verse 9]
Give me the sun again
Caught in the rain
