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

Life's too long as the Lemming said
C#m A# F# C# D#m
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

F Dm
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame
Gm A# F C A# 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 A# F C
in a moment's reflection of two moths spinning in her eyes
