Moth in The Light

You could have it all
But don't seem to want it
Always staring at the floor
Never to the sky

Paper wings, lily-white
Come and gone, you've come and gone
Like a moth in the light

In the cadence of a verse
I heard the unsung line
When I spoke of love, you couldn't look me in the eye

Paper wings in lily-white
Come and gone, you've come and gone
Like a moth in the light

I thought I knew you then
But don't know you now
Would you call me a friend
If I had kept quiet?

Fallow summer
Dessert snow
You said too much
You foolish girl

Paper wings, lily-white
Come and gone, you've come and gone
Like a moth in the light

Paper wings, lily-white
Come and gone, you've come and gone
Like a moth in the light

Like a moth in the light
Like a moth in the light
Like a moth in the light
