Candice - Blue Rodeo

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
