Moths Lyrics - Heavy Horses - Jethro Tull

Oh the leaded window opened 

but you moved the dancing candle flame 

and the first moths of summer 

suicidal came, oh suicidal came. 

And the new breeze chattered 

in its May-bud tenderness 

sending water-lilies 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.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Chasing shadows slipping 

in the magic lantern's light - 

creatures of the candle 

on the night's light's rite. 

Dipping and weaving, flutter 

through the golden needle's eye 

in our haystack madness, butterfly stroking 

on a spring-tide high. 

Life's too long (as the lemmings 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.

Oh the leaded window opened 

but you moved the dancing candle flame. 

And the first moths of summer 

suicidal came, oh suicidal came, 

to join in the worship 

of the light that never dies 

in the moments reflection 

of two moths spinning in her eyes.
