Candleland Lyrics - Echo & The Bunnymen

Get your handleful of remembrance 

For you to sprinkle through your life 

In between the penance 

That you carry by your side 

With the make belief and the miracles 

That only come alive 

In Candleland 

Candleland 

Wear your guilt like skin 

And keep your sins disguised 

Take some salt and sugar 

And rub it in your eyes 

You'll know that something's left you 

Just as you arrive 

In Candleland 

Candleland 

I walked back inside me 

I'd gone back from my youth 

As I came down the fire escape 

It must have stayed up on the roof 

They say you just know 

And the knowing is the proof 

Of Candleland 

Candleland 

Candleland 

Candleland 

Candleland 

Candleland 

Candle, the candleland
