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
