E C E E C I kissed the daughter of my unborn son E E E A G E A C E A C E A C Heaven down below inscribed her name E A C E A C Let heaven, heaven rain down again A G E The angels cried in butterfly red (The butcher and the butterfly) A G E Her wings are torn, my baby's dead (The butcher and the butterfly) A G E The angels cried in butterfly red (The butcher and the butterfly) A G E Her wings are torn, my baby's dead (The butcher and the butterfly)
