°Moths°

from the "Heavy Horses" album The leaded window opened To move the dancing candle flame And the first Moths of summer Suicidal came, suicidal came And a new breeze chattered In its Maybud tenderness Sending waterlillies 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 nightlightride Dipping and weaving flutter Through the golden needle's eye In our haystack madness Butterflystroking on a Springtide high, on a Springtide high 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, 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 Ian Anderson, grandnephew
