The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame
MIm SOL RE LA SOL LA SIm
And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came.
RE SIm
And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness
MIm MIm7 LA SOL LA SIm
Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed.
RE SIm
And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings
MIm SOL RE LA
Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring.
RE SIm
Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide
MIm LA SOL LA SIm
Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride.
RE SIm
Dipping and weaving - flutter through the golden needle's eye
MIm SOL RE LA
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high,
SOL LA SIm
oh, on a Spring-tide high.

Life's too long (as the Lemming said)

as the candle burned and the Moths were wed.

And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher

before the candle's dead.

And the first moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal game

to join in the worship of the light that never dies

in a moment's reflection of two moths spinning in her eyes.
