  • I saw whitecaps on the water today
    15 Minutes after you went away
    Couldn't find a reason to make you stay
    It's windy now, but it's gonna be okay

    I saw a black butterfly lose it's wings today
    Cinched by the candle underneath the archway
    Wherever they land they'll have to stay
    Who can say, but what a price to pay

    Whitecaps on the water
    But that's okay
    Ain't never been a storm I'm running from
    Come my way
    Weather man said it would be easy
    Over in a day
    It's windy now
    But it's gonna be okay

    For the life of me I just can't recall
    It's still a mystery, that's all
    'Cause dark gallows lead to brighter holes
    And masquerade (Masquerade, masquerade)
    Masquerade us all

    Whitecaps on the water
    But that's okay
    Ain't never been a storm I'm running from
    Come my way
    Weather man said it would be easy
    Over in a day
    It's windy now
    But it's gonna be okay

    I saw whitecaps on the water today
    15 Minutes after you went away Writer/s: PRINCE ROGERS NELSON
