Lyrics
Mothman told me that he loved me last night
Mothman expressed love to the speaker last night.
His eyes at my window were a terrible fright
The presence of Mothman outside the window was frightening.
But his wings, oh his wings, were such a wonderful sight
Despite the fear, Mothman's wings were fascinating.
Oh, Mothman told me that he loved me last night
Reiteration of Mothman professing love.
I opened up my window and he chirped in delight
The speaker opened the window, and Mothman expressed delight.
He didn't move his mouth but I could hear him alright
Mothman communicated without moving his mouth.
I climbed into his arms and we talked about the stars
The speaker joined Mothman on the roof, discussing stars.
Oh, Mothman told me that he loved me last night
Reiteration of Mothman's declaration of love.
Oh, Mothman
What brought you to my homestead
The speaker questions Mothman's reason for being at their homestead.
How did you know I needed a friend
Mothman appeared when the speaker needed a friend.
Oh, Mothman
Reiteration of the inquiry into Mothman's presence.
What brought you to my side
Speculation on whether Mothman was attracted by the speaker's eyes or lamplight.
Was it my eyes, or just my lamplight
We stayed on the roof until the sun came up
The speaker and Mothman spent the night on the roof.
The birds weren't singing but the night was done
Nocturnal atmosphere, birds silent as the night ends.
I climbed into my bed and he kissed me on my forehead
The speaker went to bed after a forehead kiss from Mothman.
Mothman, when will I see you again
Wondering when Mothman will return.
I fell asleep and I dreamed of him
The speaker dreams of Mothman being human.
And in the dream I dreamed he was human
I woke up
The dream ends, and the speaker wakes up.
With tears in my eyes
Tears in the speaker's eyes upon waking.
A certainty fell
A realization that Mothman can never be theirs.
He'd never be mine
Acceptance that Mothman has found a better life.
Somewhere, somehow, he'd found a better life
Speculation on Mothman's improved circumstances.
Oh, Mothman, would I were your wife
Wishing to be Mothman's wife.
Oh, Mothman
What brought you to my homestead
Reiteration of the inquiry into Mothman's presence at the homestead.
Where have you gone now I need you my friend
Concern about Mothman's absence when needed as a friend.
Oh, Mothman
Reiteration of the desire for Mothman's return.
I wish you'd carried me off that night
Expressing a wish to be taken away by Mothman.
My starlight love
The speaker refers to Mothman as their starlight love.
Would I could gaze upon you
Expressing a desire to see Mothman one more time.
One more time
