The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Get your handful of remembrance

For you to sprinkle through your life

In between the penance

That you carry by your side

With the make belief and 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 somethings left you

Just as you arrive

In Candleland, Candleland

I walked back inside me

I'd gone back for my youth

As I came down the fire escape

It must have stayed up on the roof

They say you just know

And that knowing is the proof

Of Candleland, Candleland

Candleland (candle)

Candle, candle, Candleland
