Candy lyrics

Candy took me down

Candy took me down

Down to her cellar

Down to her cellar

We sat in candle light

Drinkin' her father’s wine

Sheltered in darkness

Cold earth around us

That's when the Union came

In veils of stormy rain

She talked about her pa

How she watched him in awe

Preachin' the gospel

She was delightful

We heard the thunder fall

Damn near break down these walls

The bottles ringin’

Us two just sittin'

Outside the cannonballs

Came screamin' through the squall

She took to cryin' then

I watched the candle dim

And curl and shudder

Afraid to touch her

And as the flame went dead

Dear God, I felt her head

Rest tired upon me

Just breathin' softly

Outside the city burned

Lord, it was hell on Earth

As darkness swept aside

That breathless candlelight

I felt her breathin'

And I started singin'

"Soldiers they will come

And soldiers they will go

The war may lay the lot of us

In rows of granite stone

And if I join the cavalry

And perish far from home

A life as sweet as candy I may never live to know

The cities they will burn

And families will crack

The hate that drove us from our homes

Will drag the living back

And limping from the darkness

With our hatred in our tracks

A long and lonely shadow there can never be undone"

But Candy is asleep

In darkness and in peace

And my heart fills the silence with its happy little...
