Album Notes

The song 'Can't catch the Butterfly' is being released to raise funds for a Memorium Butterfly Garden in the village of Old Kilpatrick in Scotland; in memory of all those people, who have lost their lives through suicide at the Erskine bridge.

Written by Jim Byrne and Pat Byrne at the request of Anne Morgan and performed with the help of local musicians Johnny Russell, Sharon Campbell and Dinny.

This is part of a wider initiative to take action to prevent or reduce the number of tragedies in the future.

Can’t catch the Butterfly

your life is short, but beautiful
you do not fear the dying day
flying free, warm summer breeze
from flower to flower your path is clear

you display your colours, for all to see
and it's nature's job just to keep you free
but fragile thoughts, like a butterfly's wing
so easily torn, and with a troubled soul
there’s the pain that that brings

but you can't catch the butterfly
it's always on the wing
so don't shed a tear
your memories will keeps them near

an innocent, magic man
so many gifts, so full of charm
you heard him laugh and tell his tale
gave his family love
gave his friends the same

you can't catch the butterfly
it's always on the wing
so don't shed a tear
memories will keeps them near

your life was short, but beautiful
