Lyrics

Under neath a streetlight they were sharing they’re last cigarette

She said, “we’ve been here all evening, you haven’t said a word to me yet,”

She said, “And I know you do the things that you must do

But don’t you ever, don’t you ever treat me cruel.”

“No matter what you’ve heard and what you’ve seen
Don’t turn your back on me”

And gypsy moths flickered in and out of the light

She said, “we’ve been here all summer haven’t done a single thing right

And lovers come, and lovers lovers they will go

None could ever share with us, share with us things we know

“No matter what you’ve heard and what you’ve seen
Don’t turn your back on me”
Don’t turn your back on me”

“I may be your lover baby and I may be your whore

But even that can’t stop me from wanting something more

“Don’t turn your back on me”
“Don’t turn your back on me”
Don’t turn, Don’t turn, don’t turn”

And Gypsy moths flickered in and out of the light

Like heavens’ banished angels

wedded to the darkness and the light
