"Black Butterfly" lyrics - DUKE ELLINGTON

You're a black butterfly
With your wings frayed and torn,
Laughter's your's so is scorn
As they point to you in shame.

You're a black butterfly
With your wings near fire,
But confess when your tire,
Is the candle worth the flame?

You're queen of the night
But with morning's early light
There's not a hear to really call your own;
So before it's too late,
Change your ways and repent,
Take my love that was meant
For black butterfly along.

You're a black butterfly
With your wings frayed and torn,
Laughter's your's so is scorn
As they point to you in shame.

You're a black butterfly
With your wings near fire,
But confess when your tire,
Is the candle worth the flame?

You're queen of the night
But with morning's early light
There's not a hear to really call your own;
So before it's too late,
Change your ways and repent,
Take my love that was meant
For black butterfly along.
