 ( )
 If  moths could light matches,
 this world  would be ashes.
   ---
 and they'd cling to the white hem of your dress.
 Well, we dance  in the dust storm,
 and I'd spin  you around.
 And we'd count  all our blessings,
 throw our  burdens down.
 Just content  to be lonesome  as a whistling train,
 oh, I wish  it were different  but it's always  the same.
 ( )
 If  moths could light matches,
 this world  would be ashes.
   ----
 And I wish I was sober again.
 Well I'd write  you a letter,
 Oh, I'd seal  it with lies.
 And I'd hold  you forever,
 in my  arms tonight.
 Just content  to be lonesome  as a whistling train,
 oh, I wish  it were different  but things  will be things,  will be things...
 ( ...... )
 If moths  could light ashes, this world  would be ashes.
   ----
 Just cinders and remnants of flame.
 You can wish  till your shaking,
 You can wish  till your thin,
 You can wish  till you turn blue,
 And exhaustion  sets in...
 Just content  to be lonesome  as a whistling train,
 God, I wish  it was different,  but it's always  the same
