Shinedown "The Crow and the Butterfly" Carnival of Madness, Merriweather, Columbia MD 7/28/10 live

"The Crow And The Butterfly"

I painted your room at
Midnight, so I'd know
Yesterday was over
I put all your books
On the top shelf,
Even the one with
The four leaf clover
Man, I'm getting older
I took all your pictures
Off the wall and wrapped
Them in a news paper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems
Like a century, and now I can
Barely breathe

[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

You're words still serenade me,
Your lullabies won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting
Melody. Oh, it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe

[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away -

Like a crow chasing the Butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

Just a little too late

Actually, Brent does hit high notes, and I know he doesn't lypsync. I was at the acoustic tour, so could feel his voice on 'Call Me' and hit all of the high notes.

[GBeast2029]

@jftino I think they use playback for the orchestra, rhythm guitar (for the solo), and the piano though

[jftino]

@GBeast2029 I saw him about 2 weeks ago for the acoustic tour and he had trouble hitting the high notes there too so i see your point. i'll have to listen closer next time.
