[Verse 1] Salt on the sill, black thread tied tight I rub the wax till it shines at night Three small flames on the kitchen plate I call your name, then I seal my fate Paper folded neat, tucked under pine Clove in the bowl and a crooked line I spin the spell like a match in the air You turn once, then you turn nowhere [Pre-Chorus] Hush now Hear it crack Little sparks crawl back Hush now Hold my stare Something waking there [Chorus] Wax on my fingers, call it in Wax on my fingers, let it begin Burn, burn, burn, and come back near I light the way, you appear Wax on my fingers, name by name Wax on my fingers, feed the flame Run, run, run, through the dark Stay with the mark, stay with the mark [Verse 2] I swept the ash into a copper bowl Put your old doubt in a pouch of coal Rosemary tied with a stolen string I heard the hinges start to sing Moon in the glass, knife on the bread One for the lost and the words unsaid I traced your path in the scorch and smoke And the room went still when the candle spoke [Chorus] Wax on my fingers, call it in Wax on my fingers, let it begin Burn, burn, burn, and come back near I light the way, you appear Wax on my fingers, name by name Wax on my fingers, feed the flame Run, run, run, through the dark Stay with the mark, stay with the mark [Bridge] If you were lost, I made a road If you were cold, I fed the coal I left a ember under stone So you could find your way back home [outro] Hush now Hear it crack Little sparks crawl back Hush now Hold my stare Something waking there
