Candice Blue Rodeo

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
