[Capo 2]
F# B A C#m C#m B A C#m C#m B A
The Dleaded window opened to move the Bmdancing candle flame
And the Emfirst Moths of summer GsuiDcidal Acame, oh, GsuiAcidal Bmcame.
And a Dnew breeze chattered in its BmMay-bud tenderness
Sending Emwater-lilEm7lies Asailing as she Gturned to Aget undBmressed.
And the Dlong night awakened and we Bmsoared on powdered wings
EmCircling our tomorrows in the Gwary Dmonth of ASpring.
Chasing shadows Dslipping in a Bmmagic lantern slide
EmCreatures of the Acandle on a Gnight-Alight-Bmride.
DDipping and weaving - flutter through the Bmgolden needle's eye
in our Emhaystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a GSpring-Dtide Ahigh,
oh, on a GSpring-Atide Bmhigh.
C#m C#m B A C#m C#m B A
ELife's too C#mlong (as the ALemming Bsaid)
as the C#mcandle Bbburned and the F#Moths C#were Ebmwed.
And we'll Aall burn togBether as the Ewick Bgrows C#mhigher
before the BcanF#dle's C#dead.

The Fleaded window opened to move the Dmdancing candle flame.
And the Gmfirst moths of summer BbsuiFcidal Ccame, oh, BbsuiCcidal Dmgame
to Fjoin in the worship of the Dmlight that never dies
in a Gmmoment's reflection of two moths Bbspinning Fin her Ceyes.
