Far Too Great ----------------- A little cricket in the clover Watched a butterfly fly over I hid within the grass so low And watched the painted colors go His wings were bright, his flight was free While I stayed hidden where none could see The boy wore purple wings and more The kind of beauty summer wore He flew from rose to lily white With every color taking flight To live in hiding is my fate I love a boy who's far too great To live in hiding is my fate I love a boy who's far too great The sun was high and burning down Above the fields of green and brown He danced through air without a care While I just watched from way down there To live in hiding is my fate I love a boy who's far too great To live in hiding is my fate I love a boy who's far too great But then the clouds began to grow And winds began to fiercely go The storm arrived with sudden force And the butterfly lost his course I watched him struggle in the air While I stayed safe down here somewhere Maybe being small's the way Maybe foolish keeps you safe While the beautiful get swept away I'm hidden in my little place To live in hiding is my fate I love a boy who's far too great To live in hiding is my fate I love a boy who's far too great And maybe silly's what I need To stay alive among the weeds A little cricket in the clover Watched a butterfly fly over Watched a butterfly fly over --- "Far Too Great" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
