The Moth And The Flame

The Moth and the Flame - Anne Shelton

It's like a moth and a flame

I play a perilous game

I chance my life for the thrill

Of a moment sublime

You weave a spell like a flame

Your devil eyes are to blame

They make me yearn

Just to burn with a fire divine

My heart is beating madly for you

Here are my arms just to adore you

You hypnotize me with those sighs in the night

Hear my cries for the light of your love

I know it never can be

Your lips are not meant for me

And though I yearn

You will spurn

And I'll burn

For with you

It's not new

But the game

Of the moth and the flame

My heart is beating madly for you

Here are my arms just to adore you

You hypnotize me with those sighs in the night

Hear my cries for the light of your love

I know it never can be

Your lips are not meant for me

And though I yearn

You will spurn

And I'll burn

For with you

It's not new

But the game

Of the moth and the flame
