Mothman told me that he loved me last night
His eyes at my window were a terrible fright
But his wings, oh his wings, were such a wonderful sight
Oh, Mothman told me that he loved me last night

I opened up my window and he chirped in delight
He didn't move his mouth but I could hear him alright
I climbed into his arms and we talked about the stars
Oh, Mothman told me that he loved me last night

Oh, Mothman
What brought you to my homestead
How did you know I needed a friend
Oh, Mothman
What brought you to my side
Was it my eyes, or just my lamplight

We stayed on the roof until the sun came up
The birds weren't singing but the night was done
I climbed into my bed and he kissed me on my forehead
Mothman, when will I see you again
I fell asleep and I dreamed of him
And in the dream I dreamed he was human
I woke up
With tears in my eyes
A certainty fell
He'd never be mine
Somewhere, somehow, he'd found a better life
Oh, Mothman, would I were your wife

Oh, Mothman
What brought you to my homestead
Where have you gone now I need you my friend
Oh, Mothman
I wish you'd carried me off that night

My starlight love
Would I could gaze upon you
One more time
