Ellie Mae & the Butterfly King
©3/2020 – R. Dreskin

VERSE 1
He’d show his teeth, turn a check ~ to everyone he’d meet
Give a growl, evil eye ~ land you in the hot seat.
Reminding you it was good to be king.

VERSE 2
She’d laugh it off, kiss his face, saying that’s just his way.
No apology necessary ‘cause he was the king.
And the beast – it soothed him when she’d sing …

CHORUS 1
Some would say, in love no one escapes
Without a scar or a scuff or ending up a little insane.
He’d spread his wings, she’d climb on, hold on tight & give in.
She was his Ellie Mae. He was the Butterfly King.

VERSE 3
They were both ~ so alone ~ without family or home.
‘til the day, they friended fate, then 2 became1.
Together they were a force- so fierce - so strong.

VERSE 4
The Butterfly King, with spectacular wings ~
So beautiful and free, gave her heart meaning and peace.
He was a monarch ~ and she, she was his queen.

CHORUS 2
Some would say, in love no one escapes
Without a scar or a scuff or ending up a little insane.
He’d spread his wings, she’d climb on, hold on tight & give in.
She was his Ellie Mae. He was the Butterfly King.

BRIDGE
(x2) Soldier ~ King ~ Alibi ~ Wings
(x2) She was the soldier. He was the king ~ She was the alibi ~ He was the wings
Left behind ~ their separate lives ~ NO MORE FEAR ~ NO MORE LIES
Di – vi - ded - they - fall, un- it- ed – they - fly.

Spoken
Those who know say: With love, comes a little heartache,
A couple scars, a couple scuffs, but at the end of the day…
We spread our wings, hold hands, hold tight and begin
To leave behind the insanity and start to live

END CHORUS
He’d spread his wings, she’d climb on, hold on tight & give in.
She was his Ellie Mae. He was the Butterfly King.
He was the Butterfly King.
