Candice
Every night a different story, California dreams
Grew up thinking there was somewhere else that you should be
Cities just weren't big enough
The 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
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
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
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?
Come on home, the war's already won
