Just Like a Butterfly (That's Caught in the Rain)

Here I am, lonely
Tired and lonely
Crying for home in vain
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain!
Longing for flowers
Dreaming of hours
Back in the sun-kissed lane
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain!
I know that all of the world is cheery
By that old cottage door
Why are my wings so weary?
I can’t fly any more!
Here I am praying
Brokenly saying
«Give me the sun again!»
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain!
When it’s raining from the sky
And I see a butterfly
I can almost hear him sighing
'Cause he has to stop his flying
I can easily sympathise
With those helpless butterflies!
Here I am, lonely
Tired and lonely
Crying for home in vain
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain!
Longing for flowers
Dreaming of hours
Back in the sun-kissed lane
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain!
I know that all of the world is cheery
By that old cottage door
Why are my wings so weary?
I can’t fly any more!
Here I am praying
Brokenly saying
«Give me the sun again!»
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain!
