Array ( [sid] => 16817 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Butterfly In Shades of Grey [time] => 2003-05-01 05:35:00 [hometext] => Just a small poem inspired by the unpleasant effects of another prolonged winter spent in grim old Derby. [bodytext] => This mean season
Unloads a sadness
On two people
Who deserve more

This mean season
Knows no kindness
It hurts and it is here
It’s turbulent and long

With wave
After wave
Of sorrow and hate
A butterfly lies dead on a dinner plate
And it can’t return
To the colour shown before
The house has fallen
No walls
No roof
No more.

Shades of grey
Maybe 50 maybe more
And butterfly's tender wings
Can flap and feel no more

No life at all
The mean season takes it all
Nothing says it more
Nothing says it more

This mean season
Unloads a sadness
On two people
Who deserve more

This mean season
Knows no kindness
It hurts and it is here
It’s turbulent and long

With wave
After wave
Of sorrow and hate
A butterfly lies dead on a dinner plate
And it can’t return
To the colour shown before
The house has fallen
No walls
No roof
No more.

Shades of grey
Maybe 50 maybe more
And butterfly's tender wings
Can flap and feel no more

No life at all
The mean season takes it all
Nothing says it more
Nothing says it more
