CANDYLAND Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer

(Verse I)
You have led me to this cottage
Its walls of gingerbread
For too many times I followed
Each time was misled.
I was sure of what I wanted
So I told myself
How could I resist
Confectionary spells?
(But who could have seen that far?)

(Verse II)
For you it is like a sale
The flavors of love
Words coated with spice and sugar
Each one not enough.
Still the trees of lemon drops and
Trails of pastry crumbs
Bring me back again
Logic comes undone
(But who could have seen that far?)

(Chorus)
Buttresses of licorice
Bricks made out of cake
A cathedral of broken promises
A love that we had faked.
Through the pine trees I spy
A cottage like a dream
Candy-canes on the doors
Roof of chocolate cream.

(Bridge)
A body is more than a sweet-tooth
A heart more than its beat
Take me to a different place where
I can be complete
All the hopes I had for us are
Now just dreams bereaved
This has grown old
I want to leave.

(Chorus)
