Testo The Tinderbox - Patrick Wolf
Testo della canzone The Tinderbox (Patrick Wolf), tratta dall'album The Circling Sky (Selected B-Sides)
Left, right, left, right
And left, right, left, right
And left, right, left, right
And left, right, left, right
And left, right, left, right
And left, right, left, right
And left, right
Weary from the wars, I stumble into fortune
Strike a deal with a witch and cut off her head
And with pockets full of gold, bold I journey into town
Trade my scuffed boots for bribes and burberry
Became the talk of the town, though the heart remained mute
As I fed the poor with the King's cutlery
Locked in towers behind walls, cast some divination
And true love was promised to me
On a black dog, black burning eyes
Come carry you here to my room
Dark to one spark and I have your heart
But as quick as you come, always gone so soon
Soon, soon
Gone so soon, soon, soon
Gone so soon, soon, soon
Always gone so soon
And now I live alone in this dirty old attic
And my friends have no strength to climb up the stairs
So in the dark, I spark this old box of tinder
And your love is ferried to here
On a black dog, black burning eyes
Come carry you here to my room
Dark to one spark and I have your heart
But as quick as you come, always gone so soon
Soon, soon
Gone so soon, soon, soon
Gone so soon, soon, soon
Always gone so soon
So soon
Why does no flame e'er last for long, oh no
No spark writes dark for long, oh no
But not one thousand kisses are no Judas' kick in
Ever stop me from trying to start the fire
Start the fire
Start the fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire deep down in me
