Moths

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

D                           
Dipping and weaving - flutter 
              Bm
through the golden needle's eye
       Em                
in our haystack madness.  
                         G      D 
Butterfly-stroking on a 
   A
Spring-tide high,
         G      A    Bm
oh, on a Spring-tide high.

E          C#m          A       
Life's too long (as the Lemming 
B
said)
       C#m    Bb             F#   
as the candle burned and the Moths
 C#   Ebm
 were wed.
          A           B            
And we'll all burn together as the 
E    B     C#m
wick grows higher
           B  F#    C#
before the candle's dead.

The leaded window opened to move

the dancing candle flame.
        Gm                   
And the first moths of summer 
 Bb F     C         Bb C     Dm
suicidal came, oh, suicidal game
   F                          Dm
to join in the worship of the light 
that never dies
     Gm                        
in a moment's reflection of two 
       Bb       F      C
moths spinning in her eyes.
