[Verse]
I crawled the leaves in morning dew
They flew away like strangers do
Wings of colors
Skies so wide
I stayed below
Nowhere to hide
[Chorus]
Why'd they leave
Why'd they fly
Left me here to wonder why
Caterpillar blues
Caterpillar cries
Wings are dreams
But dreams say goodbye
[Verse 2]
The sun it burns
The grass feels rough
A little green ain't ever enough
I weave my thoughts in a silken haze
Stuck in the dirt while they find new days
[Prechorus]
Do they miss me
Do they care
Or did they forget I was ever there
[Chorus]
Why'd they leave
Why'd they fly
Left me here to wonder why
Caterpillar blues
Caterpillar sighs
Wings are dreams
But dreams always lie
[Bridge]
If I had wings
Would I stay true
Or would I leave someone like me too
The trees don’t answer
The clouds just stare
Lonely questions fill the air
