Blue Rodeo - Candice lyrics

Every night a different story California dreams Grew up thinking there was somewhere else that you should be Cities just weren't big enough Towns had lost their way Told me you would bide your time til you could slip away When you left I drove you to the station Said you'd come back when the hunger fades away Candice I've been dreaming And in my mind I'm watching over you just like the sun See your face but can't tell what you're thinking Are you running through the past and where it's gone Don't worry now the war's already won Oh, it's already won Got a card the other day Capistrano Fair Told me it was beautiful now fall was in the air Swallows all were leaving They circled round the bay But they'd come back there next year on exactly the same day You told me that the leaving's getting easier with time Cause you learned how not to ever look behind Candice I've been dreaming And in my mind I'm watching over you just like the sun See your face but can't tell what you're thinking Are you worried about the things you've never done Don't worry now the war's already won Ya, the war's already won I know that things will never be the same again for you And I know your restless heart cannot be told For every road you wish you'd traveled I can show you two Where the summer rain shines like polished gold Candice I've been dreaming And in my mind I'm watching over you just like the sun See your face but can't tell what you're thinking Are you worried about the past and where it's gone Ah, come on home the war's already won War's already won War's already won Ya, the war's already won
