A fantasy song about a woman who is approached by a butterfly to “trade places’, because the butterfly has fallen in love with the woman’s lover and the woman has fallen in love with the idea of living life as a butterfly. Psychedelic, eh?
This is a psychedelic, fantasy song about a woman who is approached by a butterfly to “trade places". The butterfly had fallen in love with the woman’s lover and the woman had fallen in love with "the idea" of living life as a butterfly. One "catch" though is, once the potion is shared and the "swap" goes smoothly. there is not "going back". Psychedelic, eh? This song comes from the album, "Waving Prairie".
“Lady, Oh, Lady”

“A butterfly speaks with a beautiful lady and convinces her to trade places…”
Lady, oh, lady
Care for dreams of butterflies?
Give you the dreams
And their velvet wings
To wear your hair
To know your heart
To love your lover
When the day gets dark
Would it be nice
To drop on
Every flower that you see?
Play with me
Come trade with me
Drink from the cup
Then lay back
You can see
You can see
And now that I am you
And you are me
Together and forever
That’s the way it must be
The cup has no cure
That’s part of its lure
Close
Close
