The Flame and the Moth - Orleans

Once in a while, it crosses my mind

That love in this world is so hard to find

It may seem to you that I should be satisfied

To take what I’ve got and hold this, hold this inside

I’ve often been told what money can buy

But love can’t be sold, the price is too high

You may take my body, wrap me in chains

Love in my heart always, always remains

But I can’t see the light if my eyes are not open

And I know it ain’t right, the road that’s been taken

But we’re all here together and there’s just no way off

If you’re blinded by the glitter like the flame (Yeah)

Flame blinds the moth

Ooh

Springtime is fine for planting the seeds

In summer, life grows, troubled by weeds

The autumn grows cool and everyone soon learns

That wintertime’s fool, the frost, frost quickly burns

But I can’t see the light if my eyes are not open

And I know it ain’t right, the road that’s been taken

But we’re all here together and there’s just no way off

If you’re blinded by the glitter like the flame (Yeah)

Flame blinds the moth

But I can’t see the light if my eyes are not open

And I know it ain’t right, the road that’s been taken

But we’re all here together and there’s just no way off

If you’re blinded by the glitter like the flame (Yeah)

Flame blinds the moth
