In the winter
If I see a butterfly
I might shiver
And think of you all night

If it lands on the snow
Brilliance on white
I might decide to go
And think of you all night

I might box a smile up
And send it far away
In the morning my coffee cup
Can't banish your memory

Will you stay, stay, stay
Or leave, go, gone?
You don't say, say, say
You're through with the sun

If it ***** its fragile wings
Directly into flight
I might cast into a cringe
And think of you all night

When it cuts through the freeze
Harbinger of light
I will fall to my knees
And think of you all night
This is actually a song, I left out the repeating chorus to make it an easier read.
