Nine Oh Nine How Divine
Nine My Love, Had Terrible Luck
Nine Oh Nine

Why Didn’t You Duck
When Seven Came And Ate You Up!

‘Butterflies In The Garden’

I see butterflies, butterflies in the garden
Butterflies feasting in the garden
Feasting on flowers in the garden
Butterflies flying near the waterfall
You see me coming and you soar through the sky
Trying to escape my grasp
I just want to touch your wings, and feel your love
Sweet butterflies come down to the grass where I stand and hope
That your colorful, fluttering wings will touch my skin.
