Orphan

(album: Caught In Still Life - 2016)

Thrown into the fire like a widow's child
I step into the road as the valley burns
I just wanted to believe in something beautiful
Hunger by a streetlight, I see no more
The apple of your eye was a falling star
I just wanted to believe in something beautiful

I am just an orphan to your touch
I never wanted to go
Still I am just an orphan to your touch

See the back of home as you cut your hair
Take a path of threads of a lullaby
I just wanted to believe in something beautiful
Tailor-made and hung by a knowing smile
I wear it as a mask 'til I lose my pride
I just wanted to believe in something beautiful

I am just an orphan to your touch
I never wanted to go
Still I am just an orphan to your touch

Thrown into the fire
Oh, don't leave me till it's over
Thrown into the fire
Oh, don't leave me till it's over

Thrown into the fire
Oh, don't leave me till it's over
Thrown into the fire
Oh, don't leave me till it's over

I am just an orphan to your touch
Another one you do go
Still I am just an orphan to your touch
