I painted your room at midnight,
So I'd know yesterday was over.
I put all your books on the top shelf,
Even the one with the four leaf clover.
Man I'm getting older.

I took all your pictures off the wall,
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket.
And I haven't slept in what seems like a century.
And now I can barely breathe.

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandilions lost in the summer sky.
'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you would slip away.
I guess I was just a little too late.

Your words still serinade me,
And your lullabys, they won't let me sleep.
And I've never heard such a haunting melody,
And now it is killing me.
You know I can barely breathe.

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandilions lost in the summer sky.
'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you would slip away.
I guess I was just a little too late,
I was just a little too late.

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandilions lost in the summer sky.
'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you would slip away.

Like the crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandilions lost in the summer sky.
'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you would slip away.
I guess I was just little too late, (yeah, yeah)
I was just a little too late.
I was just a little too, little too late.
I guess I was just little too late.
