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
War's already won

Got a card the other day, Capistrano Fair
They 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 'bout the
Things you've never done?
Don't worry now, the war's already won
Yeah, 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
Yeah, the war's already won
