C C9 C Am A4 Am
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame
Dm D2 Dm F C G F G Am
And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came.
C C9 C Am A4 Am
And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness
Dm Dm7 G F G Am
Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed.
C C9 C Am A4 Am
And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings
Dm D2 Dm F C G
Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring.
C C9 C Am A4 Am
Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide
Dm Dm7 G F G Am
Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride.
C C9 C Am A4 Am
Dipping and weaving flutter through the golden needle's eye
Dm D2 Dm F C G
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high,
F G Am
oh, on a Spring-tide high.
D Bm G A
Life's too long (as the Lemming said)
Bm Ab E B Dbm
as the candle burned and the Moths were wed.
G A D A Bm
And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher
A E B
before the candle's dead.
