MOTH (Ann Lister) I flew too close to the candle And I think that my wings are aflame I should never have come so close to you It seems I won't leave again Refrain: There should be some kind of warning To those of us who fly by night To beware of the cold air of morning And to keep away from the light Oh the light that it cast out was gentle And I'd been far too long in the cold And all of the dark seemed so lonely And all of your welcome seemed gold And alone outside your window There's just the pale gleam of far distant stars You could search for heaven for ever But at least you'd be safe where you are Words and music by Anne Lister.
