Moths

[Capo 2]

D Bm 
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame 
Em G D A G A Bm 
And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came. 
D Bm 
And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness 
Em Em7 A G A Bm 
Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed. 
D Bm 
And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings 
Em G D A 
Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring. 
D Bm 
Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide 
Em A G A Bm 
Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride. 
D Bm 
Dipping and weaving - flutter through the golden needle‘s eye 
Em G D A 
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high, 
G A Bm 
oh, on a Spring-tide high.

E C#m A B 
Life‘s too long (as the Lemming said) 
C#m Bb F# C# Ebm 
as the candle burned and the Moths were wed. 
A B E B C#m 
And we‘ll all burn together as the wick grows higher 
B F# C# 
before the candle‘s dead. 
 
D Bm 
Em G D A G A Bm 
 
F Dm 
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame. 
Gm Bb F C Bb C Dm 
And the first moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal game 
F Dm 
to join in the worship of the light that never dies 
Gm Bb F C 
in a moment‘s reflection of two moths spinning in her eyes.
