Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my mother's house
There's a photograph
Of a day gone past
Always makes me laugh
There's a little girl
Wary of the world
She's got much to learn
Get her fingers burnt
[Verse 2]
An affinity between you and me
Was a family, yeah
Said that I'd be fine, gave me all your time
And I left your side like a butterfly
[Chorus]
Shower me with your love
Colour every day
You make the milk-gold sun shine on me again
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
And you give me life
Like a butterfly
[Verse 3]
In my mother's house
There was happiness
I wrapped myself in it
Was my chrysalis
As my life unfolds
See a pattern through
Of you protecting me
And I protecting you
[Verse 4]
What was that you'd say?
"Make your own mistakes
And when you're grown, make sure that you remain the same"
Now I realise what was on your mind
When I left your side like a butterfly
[Chorus]
Shower me with your love
Colour every day
You make the milk-gold sun shine on me again
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
And you give me life
Like a butterfly
[Bridge]
Yeah
Shine on me
[Chorus]
Shower me with your love
Colour every day
You make the milk-gold sun shine on me again
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
And you give me life
Like a butterfly
