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, 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

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