Da, da-da, dai-ah
Da-da-da-dai-ah-da-da, ah-dai-ah-da
Da, da-da, dai-ah
Da-da-da-dai-ah-da-da, ah-dai-ah-da

Looking out as the streetlights pour over the city
I fall under a kind of spell
And I think of our farewell
Taken in for a while by the blue constellations
Our day is done and nonetheless
There's a thrill to loneliness

Warm September night
Lingering summer light
Streaks the city sky in shades of memory
You and I are butterflies
Flying, leaving chrysalis behind

I'm a golden leaf falling from a tree (doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
Knowing no one and nowhere I want to be (dum, dum, dum)
I'm a drop of rain falling from the sky (doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
I'm the shimmering wings of a butterfly (dum, dum, dum)

(Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Looking out of my window, I think of the ocean
The quiet winding streets so far away
Fading further with each day

Nothing left to say
Idling away
Waiting for the day we turn the page for good
You and I are butterflies
Flying, leaving chrysalis behind

I'm a golden leaf falling from a tree (doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
Knowing no one and nowhere I want to be (dum, dum, dum)
I'm a drop of rain falling from the sky (doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
I'm the shimmering wings of a butterfly (dum, dum, dum)

See the birds that sing from the branches high (doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
See the world, how it seems more alive than I (dum, dum, dum)
I'm the flowers opening to the rain (doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
I'm the blood flowing 'round in the city's veins (dum, dum, dum)
(Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)

Senti muito de verdade
Pela nossa despedida
Eu já sentia saudades
Antes mesmo da partida
Não tenho mais certeza
Para onde estou indo
Mas a flor em minha alma
E o futuro estão abrindo
E o futuro está deslindo

Da, da-da, dai-ah
Da-da-da-dai-ah-da-da, ah-dai-ah-da
Da, da-da, dai-ah
Da-da-da-dai-ah-da-da, ah-dai-ah-da
