Em   Bm         C        D
Oh ghost moth, hear me, hear me
Oh pale moth, shield me, shield me
I hear you beating, beating
I feel you in me, in me

Chorus:
Am         Em
Beyond yourself
D         C
Into the lights
Palest wings
Burning bright

Oh ghost moth, hear me, hear me
Oh pale moth, shield me, shield me
I hear you beating, beating
I feel you leaving, leaving

Chorus:
Lose yourself
Into the lights
Palest wings
Wave goodbye

Oh, nothing else but waves of love
Oh, nothing else but waves of love
Oh, I can't wait for night to come
Oh, nothing else but waves of love
