It's written on the stone Her melodies come home but she can't find a place to call her own She's off with me again While I fight this feeling The feeling that you're never gonna come back again But I know that it's better than the strain August butterflies, and she's right there by your side August butterflies, and she's no longer your pride August butterflies, and she's right there by your side August butterflies, and she's no longer your pride I'm chilled to the bone As the voice on the telephone Say's she can't find a place to call her home She's off with me again While I fight this feeling The feeling that you're never gonna' come back again But I know that it's better off this way August butterflies, and she's right there by your side August butterflies, and she's no longer your pride August butterflies, and she's right there by your side August butterflies, and she's no longer your pride And she's no longer your pride And she's right there by your side And she's right there by your side And she's right there by your side
