Candida - Jesse Winchester

Oh, the stars won’t come out if they know that you’re about

'Cause they couldn’t match the brightness of your eyes

And oh, who am I?

Just an ordinary guy

Who tries his best to win me first prize

Oh, my Candida, we could make it together

But the further from here, girl, the better

Where the air is still fresh and still clean

Oh, my Candida, take my hand and I’ll lead you

I promise you life will be sweeter

It says so in my dreams

And, oh, this is bright, a Gypsy told me so last night

Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine

And there were you and I, in a house, girl, it’s no lie

She said all these things by right were yours and mine

Oh, my Candida, we could make it together

But the further from here, girl, the better

Where the air is still fresh and still clean

Oh, my Candida, take my hand and I’ll lead you

I promise you life will be sweeter

It says so in all of my dreams

Oh oh oh oh …

Oh, my Candida, we could make it together

But the further from here, girl, the better

Where the air is still fresh and still clean

Oh, my Candida, take my hand and I’ll lead you

I promise you life will be much much sweeter

It says so in all of my dreams
