The Jonah Lyrics


"After 7 years on a dusty

shelf the book seemed unreal.

For 7 years in an ancient rhyme

the fate of a girl was sealed"

In the attic I was searching by

the moonlight, what would I find?

Old and grey from dust I felt it

staring back, oh that book.

Yellow pages caught my eyes,

so unreal through the dust of time.

In an ancient rhyme the truth had

been sealed on a broken shelf.

It would all be revealed!

It had been there for years

and no one ever knew.

Now break the spell and free

the girl from the candle of fate.

Look at the flame, say the rhyme,

the end is near, no more pain.

You're free!

As the candle melts away

the spirit of the candle girl

emerges from the flame,

she doesn't seem the same.

With a smile on her face she

starts to speak: "Hear my story!"
