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.
