[Dm] [Bb] [Dm]
[Gm] [Bb] [Dm]
[Gm] [Eb] Oh, the lighted window opened,
A tune [Cm] moved the dancing candle flame,
[Fm] And the first moths of summer,
[Bb] Suicidal came, oh, [Cm] suicidal came,
And [Eb] the new breeze jetted,
In [Cm] it made by tenderness,
Sending warmth to the living [Bb]
sailing.
As [G] she turned again and [Eb] rested,
And the long night awakened,
[Cm] And we saw the powdered wings,
[Fm] Circling our tomorrows,
In the [Gm] wearing of the spring,
[Eb] Chasing shadows living,
In [D] the [Cm] magic lantern's light,
[G] Creatures of [Bb] the candle,
[Dm] [Gm] On the night's bright [Eb] bright,
And what they think we think,
Through [Cm] the golden people's eye,
[Eb] [Fm] In our haystack madness,
Butterflies living on a [Bb] spring tide,
Oh, on a [Cm] spring tide,
[G] [D]
[Gm]
[Dm] [C] [Gm] Light [Dm] to love,
As the landing [C] set,
[D] As the candle [B] [Am] burners,
And as the moths [Em] were wet,
And we'll all [C] burn together,
[F] With a quick [Dm] roast iron,
[E] For me, for the [A] candles we laid,
[Eb]
[Cm]
[Fm] [F]
[Cm] [Bb]
[C] [Gb] Oh, the lighted window opened,
A tune [Ebm] moved the dancing candle flame,
And [Abm] the first moths of summer,
[Db] Suicidal game,
Oh, suicidal [Ebm] game,
[Gb] To join in the worship,
Of the [Ebm] life that never dies,
[Abm] In the moment's reflection,
Of [Ebm] two moths spinning [Db] in the right,
Right, right, right,
[Dm] [Gm] [Dm]
[Gm] [D]
