      C                    C Cadd9 C             Am              Am Asus4 Am 
  The leaded window opened           to move the dancing candle flame 
          Dm                   Dm Dsus2 Dm  F  C     G         F  G     Am 
  And the first Moths of summer            suicidal came, oh, suicidal came. 
         C                   C Cadd9 C           Am              Am Asus4 Am 
  And a new breeze chattered             in its May-bud tenderness 
          Dm     Dm7     G     G Gadd4 Gadd5         F         G      Am 
  Sending water-lillies sailing              as she turned to get undressed. 
      C                      C Cadd9 C        Am                 Am Asus4 Am 
  And the long night awakened         and we soared on powdered wings 
  Dm                    Dm Dsus2 Dm         F    C        G 
  Circling our tomorrows            in the wary month of Spring. 
   C                      C Cadd9 C       Am               Am Asus4 Am 
  Chasing shadows slipping          in a magic lantern slide 
   Dm       Dm7     G     G Gadd4 Gadd5         F    G     Am 
  Creatures of the candle                on a night-light-ride. 
  C                  C Cadd9 C                      Am            Am Asus4 Am 
  Dipping and weaving          flutter through the golden needle's eye 
         Dm              Dm Dsus2 Dm                           F    C     G 
  in our haystack madness.          Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high, 
            F     G    Am 
  oh, on a Spring-tide high. 
    
  
  Bm Bm A G   Bm Bm A G (same as part of intro) 
  
  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.

  The leaded window opened             to move the dancing candle flame. 
          Fm                   Fm Fsus2 Fm  Ab Eb    Bb        Ab Bb    Cm 
  And the first moths of summer            suicidal came, oh, suicidal game 
      Eb                Eb Ebadd9 Eb         Cm                  Cm Csus4 Cm 
  to join in the worship             of the light that never Dies 
       Fm                 Fm Fsus2 Fm                Ab     Eb      Bb 
  in a moment's reflection            of two moths spinning in her eyes.
