Candy - Live at Preservation Hall
I was perched outside in the pouring rain
trying to make myself a sail
then I'll float to you my darlin'
with the evening on my tail
Although not the most honest means of travel
It gets me there nonetheless
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
And a helpless one at best
Darling, I'll bather your skin, I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy, before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
Oh and I'm often found explaining
but to her it plays out all the same
And although I'm left defeated
It gets held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer me, baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well, I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough
Darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy, before I go
Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
Oh darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes
just give me some candy, before I go
Oh darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you
Oh and I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
(Oh I'll be there waiting for you)
All the angels, and their halo's
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
trying to make myself a sail
then I'll float to you my darlin'
with the evening on my tail
Although not the most honest means of travel
It gets me there nonetheless
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
And a helpless one at best
Darling, I'll bather your skin, I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy, before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
Oh and I'm often found explaining
but to her it plays out all the same
And although I'm left defeated
It gets held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer me, baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well, I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough
Darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy, before I go
Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
Oh darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes
just give me some candy, before I go
Oh darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you
Oh and I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
(Oh I'll be there waiting for you)
All the angels, and their halo's
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
