The Tallow Candle Songtext
von Paper Window

You′re arriving an untouched life
Your mother was a sheep who melted when your father smiled
You got her body and her taste in wine
And from your father got the drive to shine

You had bright expectations
You were thrown into life
Where you met creations
Who you took as a guide

You got too much faith
In yourself and the world
But I'm afraid
You will learn


Dirty fingers are leaving stains
On the colors of your innocence that slowly fade away
Your spirit stays but your image shows
Stains from the world which came far too close

You had bright expectations
You were thrown into life
Where you met creations
Who you took as a guide

You got too much faith
In yourself and the world
But I′m afraid
Now you've learned

All the good were afraid to get stained, kept away
Now you're lonely
And you′re wondering why and for what you′ve been made
If only
