Candy Mountain Run

(album: Halcyon Days - 2004)

Rolling and a-tumbling
Take me to the mountain
Fly closer to the sun
Wailing and a-rumbling, I'm moving not stumbling
Come, come with me on my Candy Mountain
Candy Mountain run

Dropping lots of little ones from up high
Gumdrops, lemondrops raining from the sky
Come on riding close to the sun
Come on riding with me on my
Candy Mountain run

Rolling and a-tumbling
Take me to the mountain
Fly closer to the sun
Wailing and a-rumbling, I'm moving not stumbling
Come, come with me on my Candy Mountain
Candy Mountain run

Moving to the high ground, wish you could come
Maybe they'll let me drop the big one
All the little children hands up high
Waiting for the sugar plums falling from the sky
Moving to the high ground, to the sugar mine
Moving to the secret so clandestine
World of fantasy wish you could come
Mama's little baby on a Candy Mountain run

Rolling and a-tumbling, place me on the mountain
Fly closer to the sun
Wailing and a-rumbling, my fantasy crumbling
Come, come with me on my Candy Mountain
Candy Mountain run

Come on riding with me close to the sun
Mama keep telling me not to come
Used to be a mouse, now I can roar
Tomorrow I'll give myself a little bit more
Forget about tomorrow live for today
No guarantee I'll make it anyway
My special candy tastes good now
Every day I die a little, a little anyhow

Rolling and a-tumbling
Take me to the mountain
Fly closer to the sun
Wailing and a-rumbling, I'm moving not stumbling
Come, come with me on my Candy Mountain
Candy Mountain run
