Candy

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
We 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 candelight
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
