Moths Chords & Lyrics - Jethro Tull

[F]The leaded window opened [F] , [C] , [F]
to move the [Dm]dancing candle flame[Dm] , [C] , [F]
And the [Bb]first Moths of [C]summer
[Bb]sui[C]cidal [Dm]came.[C] , [Dm]

And a new breeze chattered
in its May-bud tenderness ---
Sending water-lillies sailing
as she turned to get undressed.

And the long night awakened
and we soared on powdered wings ---
Circling our tomorrows
in the wary month of Spring.

Chasing shadows slipping
in a magic lantern slide ---
Creatures of the candle
on a night-light-ride.

Dipping and weaving --- flutter
through the golden needle's eye
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking
on a Spring-tide high. (On a Spring-tide high)

(Mezihra: 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. )

The leaded window opened
to move the dancing candle flame.
And the first moths of summer
suicidal came

to join in the worship
of the light that never dies
in a moment's reflection
of two moths spinning in her eyes.
