Gordon Downie

Boy Bruised By Butterfly Chase

Gordon Downie


Someone was laughing at me without shoes
But the grass felt so good and the day was so blue
Must have tripped, I don't know
Do I remember falling away, nothing that I hold on to,
And not being afraid?

Down, down, down
Falling down, down, down
It's like I was born never touching the ground

Someone was crying while I lay in the dirt
I could hear their hearts breakin' but I wasn't even hurt

Down, down, down
Falling, down, down, down
Was like I was born never touching the ground
Ground, ground
Was like I was born never touching the ground
