Based on an unreleased SNC track we wrote back in 1991`ish.
Edit/disclaimer March 2023:
Just discovered via DistroKid that what I thought was SNC`s vocalists own (surprisingly good) lyrics was in fact written by Hugh Moffatt and was first recorded and released by The Nashville Bluegrass Band in 1986 as "Last night I dreamed of loving you" - and thus suddenly making this track an odd coverversion. He just changed the final line to give it a dark twist.. I wish I had googled it before spending time editing & remixing the track.

The Black Butterflies
Last night I dreamed of lovin you
Your skin so soft, your eyes so blue
And when I woke, you were not there
And I was left to face my fear
And I was left alone to know
Just like the stars that shine above
They shine so high, so far away
I die for you each passing day
It can not be, it cannot be
I can not live in misery
When will I hold you in my arms
And live with you beneath the stars
I wish I was a shining star
I`d kiss your eyes, I`d kiss your heart
And there I`d be until I die
your final breath drew me insane
