Candy Man

I blew in on the west wind
To where the wind was cold
Money in my pocket
Nothing in my soul
In the lobby at the hotel
She caught my eye
She looked vulnerable
And strong at the same time
Down in the city
Where the lights shine red
Just a lonely John and a Russian princess
I said «Baby, here I am
I’ve been sent to save you
From this broken land
Where the skies are always blue
I can make your dreams come true
I wanna be your candy man»
She left her little baby
By her momma’s side
Said she’d be back
Then she turned and walked and cried
She ain’t returning
'Til she can do it right
With a bigger bag of money
I said «I can help you honey»
I said «Baby, here I am
I’ve been sent to save you
From this broken land
Where the skies are always blue
I can make your dreams come true
I wanna be your candy man»
Baby, here I am
I’ve been sent to save you
From this broken land
Where the skies are always blue
I can make your dreams come true
I wanna be your candy man
