The postman's at the door
while the telephone rings on the kitchen wall,
pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear.
I want to be with you,
tell me what I can do, nothing is too small
away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.

Distractions, like butterflies are...

Inter:[Am Bm7 Em Am Bm7 Em E7/9 Am Bm7 Em Am Gm]

I'll find a peaceful place
far away from the noise of a busy day,
where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars.


Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
when I'm alone I think of you,
and the things we'd do if we could only be through
with these distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
when I'm alone I think of you,
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
form these distractions.
