Candleland

Get your handleful of rememberance

For you to sprinkle through your life

In between the penance

That you carry by your side

With the make belief and the miracles

That only come alive

In candleland

Candleland

Wear your guilt like skin

And keep your sins disguised

Take some salt and sugar

And rub it in your eyes

You'll know that something's left you

Just as you arrive

In candleland

Candleland

I walked back inside me

I'd gone back from my youth

As I came down the fire escape

It must have stayed up on the roof

They say you just know

And the knowing is the proof

Of candleland

Candleland
