- The song is based on the fairy tale 'The Tinderbox' by Hans Christian Andersen
Left right left right
And left right left right
Weary from the wars
I stumble into fortune
Strike a deal with a witch
And cut off her head
With pockets full of gold boy
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
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
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
Turning eyes
Come and carry you here
To my room
Dark to one spark
And I have your heart
But as quick as you come
You're 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 ere last for long?
Oh no
No spark brights dark for long
Oh no
But no thousand kisses
Or no judas kicking in to stop me
From trying to start the fire
Start the fire
Start the fire, fire, fire, fire,
Fire, fire, fire
Deep down only
This song got me to turn my headphones around the right way - thanks patrick!
I used to listen to this song while checking my headphones - it's perfect for that purpose :)) (and very beautiful)
Always transported with his music. Such a gift.
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.

Great Song Patrick!
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.
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.
Oh my. I can't stop listening to this song, it's so enchanting and addictive.
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!
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!
This song gives me chills. Sign of a good artist :)
I love this song!
This song is beyond gorgeous
love him, his talent
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.
Die Beste Musik aller Zeiten...
I love the song! Thank you for uploading it.
You got my heart!!!
times like theise, i am proud to be danish!
thanks for the upload ;3
I think you can also download it from last.fm if you look under the discography section.
nice
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 :/
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.
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)
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.
@Rowwaaaaan No, it's the b-side from the Vulture single.
@aarong923 ah, the joys of stereo sound..
@aarong923 it is
may be a little late but his official website (patrickwolf . com) has one
just saying that comment was from my mum below LOL i'm only 18, hardly an old lady hehe...
Almost like - Marillion
I see 7 people clicked the dislike button, must have been an accident.

@@vergaoneverga why, what do you know. As far as I know he is but he hasn't posted on his Facebook in ages.
