Stephen Tranter's Moth by GM Jon

V5

Hey little moth Why don’t you leave me be There’s only room In here for me You stick to my window ‘Most every night When I switch on My bedroom light I need that light When there’s much to do But that’s when I find I’m looking out at you I admire the way You flutter your wings And how you strive For better things When I write my verse I reach for the sky While you believe You’re a butterfly Maybe we both Are kindred souls Striving to reach Our separate goals Sometimes I think I’d like to be hurled Into your fantasy Butterfly world I admire the way You flutter your wings And how you strive For better things Sometimes I think I’d like to be hurled Into your fantasy Butterfly world But you’re just a moth Not Peter Pan’s Wendy And I have to say That moths are not trendy So, I’ll work once more in the evening light And bid you once again goodnight Oh, did I call you a moth? That’s really not good enough What I really meant to say Is will you sometimes fly my way? I think you know the reason why You’re a beautiful evening butterfly
