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
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
