There I was with the old man, stranded again, so off I ran
Asus2 E C#7
A young world crashing around me; no possibilities of getting what I need
F#m B
He looked at me and smiled,
Bsus4 B Bsus2 B7sus2 D E
said No, no, no, no, no, no child
Asus2 Amaj9
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
G(no3rd) Dsus2 Asus2 Amaj9
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
F#m C#m
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
F#m B
Laughing, She don't know why
Dsus2 Amaj9 Asus2
She don't know why, Dog and Butterfly
A E
Well I stumbled upon your secret place, Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face
Asus2 E C#7
Wrestling with your desires; frozen stangers stealing your fires
F#m B
The message hit my mind,
Bsus4 B Bsus2 B7sus2 D E
Only words that I could find
Asus2 Amaj9
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
G(no3rd) Dsus2 Asus2 Amaj9
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
F#m C#m
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
F#m B
Laughing, to the sky
Dsus2 Amaj9 Asus2
Up to the sky, Dog and Butterfly
C#m F#m Dsus2 A
We're getting older, The world getting colder
D C(no 3rd) G(no 3rd) A
For the life of me, I don't know the reason why
C#m E(no 3rd) Dsus2 A
Maybe it's living, making us give in
D C(no 3rd) G(no 3rd) A
Heart rolling in, taken back on the tide
D C(no 3rd) G(no 3rd) A
We're balanced together; ocean upon the sky
Csus2 E7 E7sus4 E7
A E
Another night in this stange town, Moonlight holding me light as down
Asus2 E C#7
Voice of confusion inside of me, begging to go back where I'm free
F#m B
Feels like I'm through,
Bsus4 B Bsus2 B7sus2 D E
Then the old man's words are true
Asus2 Amaj9
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
G(no3rd) Dsus2 Asus2 Amaj9
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
F#m C#m
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
F#m B
With a little tear in her eye
Dsus2 Asus2
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, Below she has to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
With a little tear in her eye
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly

| To me, the song is about a girl who realizes that she's growing up. The butterfly represents the child ...careless and free and the dog represents what she is becoming. "She roll back down..with a little tear in her eye. she had to try." translates- she misses the comfort of childhood. | |

| OHMIGOD, I feel so much when I hear this song. Like most my favorite songs, they move me yet I find as I really listen to the lyrics, I have absolutely no idea what it REALLY means!!! Is Dog and Butterfly about a girl who is being encourage to not give up on life. Pushed to try,try,and try again??? Or The opposite? It's driving me nuts! Found this website this afternoon! Help?? | |

| I always felt this song was about a girl coming to terms with being sexually abused as a child. One of the reasons the song always made me feel so sad. | |

| Found this on internet! HEART's love for dogs has even influenced their music. Ann penned the words to "Dog and Butterfly" but it was her Sheepdog that inspired the lyrics. Ann watched intently from her bedroom window as her Sheepdog chased a butterfly around the yard. "As Ann watched her dog it struck her as symbolic as to how life can be," explains Nancy. "When you're an earthbound creature we're always jumping and reaching for things we can never really catch, but you try anyway. And that's the point of the song, we're always trying to grab at something higher." | |
