[Verse 1]
Oh, the leaded window opened
To move the dancing candle flame
And the first moths of Summer
Suicidal came, oh suicidal came
[Verse 2]
And the new breeze chattered
In its May-bud tenderness
Sending water-lilies sailing
As she turned to get undressed
[Verse 3]
And the long night awakened
And we soared on powdered wings
Circling our tomorrows
In the wary month of Spring
[Verse 4]
Chasing shadows slipping
In the magic lantern slide
Creatures of the candle
On a night-light ride
[Verse 5]
Dipping and weaving
Flutter through the golden needle's eye
In our haystack madness
Butterfly-stroking on a Springtide high
On a Springtide high
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 1]
Oh the leaded window opened
To move the dancing candle flame
And the first moths of Summer
Suicidal came, oh suicidal came
[Verse 6]
To join in the worship
Of the light that never dies
In the moment's reflection
Of two moths spinning in her eyes
