Moths
Capo:no capo
[Capo 2]
F# B A C#m C#m B A C#m C#m B A
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.
C#m C#m B A C#m C#m B A
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.
E C#m C#m B A C#m C#m B A C#m
Oh the leaded window opened
But you moved the dancing candle flame
And the first moths of summer
Suicidal came, oh suicidal came.
And the new breeze chattered
In its May-bud tenderness
Sending water-lilies sailing
As she turned to get undressed.
And the long night awakened
And we soared on powdered wings
Circling our tomorrows
In the wary month of spring.
Chasing shadows slipping
In the magic lantern's light
Creatures of the candle
On the night's light's rite.
Dipping and weaving,
Flutter through the golden needle's eye
In our haystack madness,
Butterfly stroking on a spring-tide high.
Oh, on a spring-tide-high
Life's too long (as the lemmings 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.
Oh the leaded window opened
But you moved the dancing candle flame.
And the first moths of summer
Suicidal came, oh suicidal came,
To join in the worship
Of the light that never dies
In the moments reflection
Of two moths spinning in her eyes.
