Bishop Allen - Butterfly Nets

Butterfly Nets
Artist: Bishop Allen
Album: The Broken String

Lyrics

calm that wicked wind,
to pick you up
and carry you off eastward,
though i did release you
for to seek a warmer sky

should you be blown back
know that i will always run to greet you,
still surprised to catch you
every time

armed with this small butterfly net
i will face the world alone
& never be lonely

so calm that wicked wind,
& if you go, you could be gone forever
i will play awhile here
by & by & by & by -

armed with this small butterfly net
i will face the world alone
& never be lonely

up & up you go
for to steal the secrets of the heavens
will you share them with me
my bright & brilliant spy?

should you be blown back
know that i will always run to greet you
still surprised to catch you
every time
still surprised to catch you
by & by & by & by

@ThatPigThatFlies I'm pretty sure it's actually an oboe

@BroRando i figured it out on guitar. lol

Does anyone know who the saxophonist is or what kind of sax it is? Typically, it would be a tenor, but I play both tenor and alto, and that sounds too low for either. It kind of sounds a bit like a contrabass and, whichever kind it is, they play it so well! I really want to hear more from this sax player!

P.S. If anyone knows the sax part, I would die for it!

oh my, this is beautiful.
