Lyrics The Mission - Butterfly On A Wheel

Silver and gold and it's growing cold,
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves,
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone,
'Cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone,
The heat of your breath carving shadows in the mist...
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed.
A broken dream haunting in your sleep,
And hiding in your smile a secret you must keep: love cuts you deep.
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel...
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel...

There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me.
As sure as god made wine, you can't wrap your arms around a memory.
Take warmth from me, cold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife...

And in the dark for me you're the candle flame that flickers to life.
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel...
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel...

Wise men say "All is fair in love and war"
And "There's no right or wrong in the design of love".
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings.
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow...
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings.
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel!
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel...
