Manning - The Candyman lyrics

Will we pa** this way again or lie and fill our empty markers? Carving names on Oaks, to watch them grow out of sight, alone We look at the world, spinning only for us, we master Time and carry on Believing as we march that there will be some signs along the way Hand in hand we find ourselves spinning in Life's dance You never look me in the eye, the touch is firm enough - we promenade By that feel alone we haul ourselves over hills that stand before us, Taking care to leave our prints there, for all to see So where, where is the Candyman? Seems only yesterday, I was walking down the road towards my goal So, where, where did the Candyman go? Holding out the sweet things, turns around and disappears Should I chart some Lost Horizon? Should I place a footstep on the Moon? To scream and shout and make a noise, so someone will remember me Oh to swim an Ocean! To climb Everest! To be the man who plays the guitar Having a sense of History, I need it all to be real So where, where did the Candyman go? It seems only yesterday, I was walking down the road towards some goals Where, where did the Candyman go? Holding out the sweet things, he turns around and disappears And I've spent half my life in books And learnt from them that life is sweet But I've looked up, I've lost my place Forgotten who I was going to be Must we always learn the hard way? Building LEGO towers in the sky We place each tile so carefully, until the box lies empty So where did the Candyman go? It seems only yesterday, I was walking down the road towards some goals Where, where did the Candyman go? Holds out the sweet things, turns around and he disappears But Stop! Look at my children, Playing the games I started, but bending all the rules Making their own Way, their own world, their own markers on the maps Will they learn faster than I? Will they even want to try? We cannot live our dreams out through them But hope they learn to dream in their own time So I ... I become the Candyman It seems only yesterday I was walking down the road towards my goals I, I become the Candyman With sweets for my children, To watch over all their dreaming, while I may With sweets for my children, To watch over all their dreaming, while I may
