Two Lovers, a Dog, and a Butterfly: A Day In This Midlife Woman’s Life

September 5, 2017 By Gail

 Dog and Butterfly Lyrics by Heart We’re getting older the world’s getting colder For the life of me I don’t know the reason why Maybe it’s livin’ making us give in Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide We’re balanced together ocean upon the sky Another night in this strange town Moonlight holding me light as down Voice of… Read More
