[Verse 1] Your coat still hangs by the door Like you might walk in any minute Your cup sits lonely on the shelf And I still reach for it The bed feels too wide tonight Your side is a quiet sea I talk to the empty room Like you’re still here with me [Pre-Chorus] And I keep your name in my chest Like a match I can’t put out Every little thing you touched Keeps calling me out [Chorus] I miss my wife And she is a gold butterfly I miss my wife Come home and rest your wings tonight Gold butterfly Don’t fly so far from me Gold butterfly I need the way you look at me [Verse 2] I found your scarf in the drawer Smelled like rain and summer skin Held it close for a second Then I folded it back in The house knows where you stood By the sink, by the window light Even the clock on the wall Moves slower when you’re not inside [Pre-Chorus] And I keep your name in my chest Like a prayer I can’t let go Every room you used to warm Still glows [Chorus] I miss my wife And she is a gold butterfly I miss my wife Come home and rest your wings tonight Gold butterfly Don’t fly so far from me Gold butterfly I need the way you look at me [Bridge] If you’re tired, land on my hand If you’re hurt, I’ll be your shore I can wait through all this weather I can love you even more [Final Chorus] I miss my wife And she is a gold butterfly I miss my wife Come home and rest your wings tonight Gold butterfly Don’t fly so far from me Gold butterfly Stay here, stay here with me
