about

All music written and performed by David Gergen featuring Michelle Fontaine on vocals

lyrics

Do you need your own room by the front door?
Where you can hang your cocoon
Like me you need your own space
If we do it right we’ll meet in the middle babe

(D) I know… I know that you know why
(M) Everybody knows you are the butterfly
(D) I know… I know that you know why
(M) Everybody knows I am the rose

Want a break? Then you better get back into the groove
Summer rain is never a bad thing
Can I land on your petal dress?
So you and I can be one

(D) I know… I know that you know why
(M) Everybody knows you are the butterfly
(D) I know… I know that you know why
(M) Everybody knows I am the rose

You’re my missing wing
You’re my everything

(D) I know… I know that you know why
(M) Everybody knows you are the butterfly
(D) I know… I know that you know why
(M) Everybody knows I am the rose

*This song came to be when I asked Michelle, in her final days, to come into the studio and sing into the microphone. She sung the words you hear in this song. All I had to work off of was her short vocal takes so I built this song around her words. And very special they are.

David Gergen Los Angeles, California

I write and record music by myself in my studio in Los Angeles. Sometimes they are songs, other times they are experimental instrumental tracks. Whatever the outcome may be, I am always recording.
