The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame
DmDmDsus2DmFCGFGAm
And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came.
CCCadd9CAmAmAsus4Am
And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness
DmDm7GGGadd4Gadd5FGAm
Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed.
CCCadd9CAmAmAsus4Am
And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings
DmDmDsus2DmFCG
Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring.
CCCadd9CAmAmAsus4Am
Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide
DmDm7GGGadd4Gadd5FGAm
Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride.
CCCadd9CAmAmAsus4Am
Dipping and weaving flutter through the golden needle's eye
DmDmDsus2DmFCG
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high,
FGAm
oh, on a Spring-tide high.

BmAbEBDbm
as the candle burned and the Moths were wed.
GADABm
And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher
AEB
before the candle's dead.
