Christy Moore - Butterfly (So Much Wine) Lyrics
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day when you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burned your hair, knocked over the chair, I just tried to stay out of your way
But when you fell asleep with blood on your teeth, I got into my car and drove away
Listen to me butterfly, there's only so much wine you can drink in one life
Where the highway starts, I parked my car, I got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors died and shot across the sky, I thought about your sad shining eyes
I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rose, you were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me butterfly, there's only so much wine you can drink in one life
But it will never be enough to save you from the bottom of your glass

Christy Moore Butterfly (So Much Wine) Comments
Beautifully haunting song about a failing relationship . sorry Christy you had me up until the football reference it ruined it for me.
Mark Czarny kind of thought the same, no real need to pin the song on a certain person . Let whoever is listening to the song decide who it’s about for themselves
Great to be sober ...Thanx Christy, Love & Respect Martin Mac
sad sad sad the bottom of your glass
@Gandhidunne i suppose it can be about anyone, he,s that clever !
@Gandhidunne it's originally by The Handsome Family so no. but my first thought on hearing this version was that Moore was dedicating it to George Best
Neil Martin Yeah Moores dedicating this one to best not sure who the so is originally about tho
Such a beautiful song but a sad one for me.
Reminds me of my sister's fight with alcoholism.
No one sings a ballad like Christy Moore !!!
Wow, Christy sings the Handsome Family! Who knew?
only 824 views??? I love this song so much
