Wolf, Patrick - The Tinderbox Lyrics
Left, right, left, right
And left, right, left, right
Weary from the wars
I stumble into fortune
And cut off her head
With pockets full of gold
I journey into town
Trade my stuffed 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
Comes some divination
And true love was promised to me
On a black dog
Black burning eyes
Come and carry you here
To my room
One spark
And I have your heart
And 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

Wolf, Patrick The Tinderbox Comments
I see 7 people clicked the dislike button, must have been an accident.
you think this guys still alive?
@PathisNarrow why, what do you know. As far as I know he is but he hasn't posted on his Facebook in ages.
I've been wanting to buy the digital singles of "Damaris" and "Vulture" for some time now after an old hard drive crashed but it seems like they're not available anywhere anymore, even on Spotify. Does anyone have the files in good quality they can send? Would buy legally if I could :/

Great Song Patrick!
I used to listen to this song while checking my headphones - it's perfect for that purpose :)) (and very beautiful)
don't know why this doesn't have 800,000 views. It should be an indie hit!
I always listened to this tale when i was younger, and the way you sing takes me right back to it. thank you.
love him, his talent
I think you can also download it from last.fm if you look under the discography section.
I think you can only get the vinyl edition on his website... maybe it was a kind of special edition single that was only released on vinyl? (There is apparently a way of uploading vinyl records onto iTunes so might be worth getting it anyway)
may be a little late but his official website (patrickwolf . com) has one
Is this song, or the whole of the Vulture EP for that matter, available to purchase anywhere? I've searched iTunes, Amazon and even Spotify, and can't find it anywhere.
This song got me to turn my headphones around the right way - thanks patrick!
This song is what music is all about to me: beautiful storytelling, enchanting melodies and enticing vocals. I love it, but was very upset it wasn't on itunes and I had to youtube convert it to mp3, which I loathe doing.
What a load of rubbish.
This song gives me chills. Sign of a good artist :)
@aarong923 ah, the joys of stereo sound..
I think this might end up being my theme song for this semester. I'm writing a major paper on "The Tinderbox", and this song is absolutely what I need to keep me excited about the analysis. Thanks for posting it!
times like theise, i am proud to be danish!
Almost like - Marillion
Die Beste Musik aller Zeiten...
@aarong923 it is
I love this song!
You got my heart!!!
I love this so much! Must have listened to it about 20 times already :D
This has quite a "Wind in the Wires" feel to it. Wonderful song!
Argh, I see I obviously need this single despite already having the main song. This song is beyond belief. ^ ^ Omz, I am quite in love. <3
@Rowwaaaaan No, it's the b-side from the Vulture single.
just saying that comment was from my mum below LOL i'm only 18, hardly an old lady hehe...
A hauntingly beautiful song. The style reminds me of The Stranglers 'Golden Brown'. I love the lyrics and the waltz like feel. Excellent story telling with a celtic twist. I could listen to this over and over again. Well done Patrick you have made an old lady smile at the end of a difficult day.
R.D.
Oh my. I can't stop listening to this song, it's so enchanting and addictive.
Thanks for this! Minor correction, though--the second chorus, it's not 'black dog/black burning eyes,' it's 'black dog/turning eyes' which is also part of the story.
This song is beyond gorgeous <3
I love the song! Thank you for uploading it.
thanks for the upload ;3
