The [C]leaded window opened [C] [Cadd9] [C] to move the [Am]dancing candle f[Am]lam[Asus4]e [Am]
And the [Dm]first Moths of summer[Dm] [Dsus2] [Dm] s[F]uic[C]idal c[G]ame, oh, s[F]uic[G]idal c[Am]ame.
And a n[C]ew breeze chattered [C] [Cadd9] [C] in its M[Am]ay-bud tendernes[Am]s [Asus4][Am]
Sending [Dm]water-l[Dm7]illies s[G]ailing[G] [Gadd4] [Gadd5] as she t[F]urned to g[G]et undr[Am]essed.
And [C]the long night awakened[C] [Cadd9] [C] and we s[Am]oared on powdered w[Am]ing[Asus4]s [Am]
[Dm]Circling our tomorrows[Dm] [Dsus2] [Dm] in the w[F]ary m[C]onth of S[G]pring.
C[C]hasing shadows slipping[C] [Cadd9] [C] in a m[Am]agic lantern slid[Am]e [Asus4][Am]
C[Dm]reatures [Dm7]of the c[G]andle [G] [Gadd4] [Gadd5] on a ni[F]ght-l[G]ight-r[Am]ide.
[C]Dipping and weaving[C] [Cadd9] [C] flutter through the g[Am]olden needle's[Am] ey[Asus4]e [Am]
in our [Dm]haystack madness[Dm]. [Dsus2] [Dm] Butterfly-stroking on a Spr[F]ing-t[C]ide hi[G]gh,
oh, on a S[F]pring-[G]tide [Am]high.
Bm Bm A G Bm Bm A G (same as part of intro)
[D]Life's too [Bm]long (as the L[G]emming s[A]aid)
as the [Bm]candle [Ab]burned and the M[E]oths w[B]ere [Dbm]wed.
And we'll a[G]ll burn tog[A]ether as the w[D]ick g[A]rows h[Bm]igher
bef[A]ore the c[E]andle's d[B]ead.
1/2 verse progression - instrumental
The [Eb]leaded window opened[Eb] [Ebadd9] [Eb] to move the d[Cm]ancing candle [Cm]fla[Csus4]me. [Cm]
And the [Fm]first moths of summer[Fm] [Fsus2] [Fm] s[Ab]uic[Eb]idal c[Bb]ame, oh, s[Ab]uic[Bb]idal g[Cm]ame
to j[Eb]oin in the worship[Eb] [Ebadd9] [Eb] of the l[Cm]ight that never Dies[Cm] [Csus4][Cm]
in a [Fm]moment's reflection[Fm] [Fsus2] [Fm] of two moths sp[Ab]inning [Eb]in her e[Bb]yes.
