Daisy...
will someone go and help my
baby
she says
can’t i
make her stop each time i close my eyes
a long, long time ago
I thought you’d turn into someone i
know
but down the road
comes a man
with power in the way that he stands
but not even his power
can last him for the hour
oh he’s gone, gone, gone
dream, baby, dream
daddy’s not quite what he seems
oh but he’s
gone, gone, gone
won't someone help my baby
she’s made me crazy lately
oh i’m gone, gone, gone
and in this given hour
I just can’t find the power
to take her out of here
oh i’m gone, gone, gone
gone, gone, gone
this day in my memory
etched on the certificate they gave to me
I watched her lips move
knowing i won’t get the truth
can you stand to know
that this is how it ended
the knight has lost the battle
that he got saddled with
oh, the war has come to me
and the next move,
oh i can’t see
won’t someone save the baby
she’s in her tower, shaking
off her bad life
it’s just a bad night
her knight has lost his power
he’s run out of his hours
oh she wishes to be
gone, gone, gone
gone, gone, gone
---
the light, light, light, light, light
the pages whisper to my fingers
in the dead of night
the only time i feel alive
I need light, light, light, light
words brush against my forehead
cradle me
tell me i’ll be alright, right, right, right
---
come back to me
she says
but I’ve finally found
my light
I cradle it
as I lay my head down
every night
baby’s found her way now
the path to peace leads me
further and further from you
where my happiness is
true
true
it’s better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun without you
better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun it’s
better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun without you
better off this way
I’m a flower in the sun it’s
true

Candy Isle’s official inception took place the summer of 2017, after college friends Kat and Lydia decided to take their
ideas of covering songs and make it a reality. Two years later, Candy Isle has evolved from an acoustic indie duo to a full fledged, plugged-in trio with the addition of Allison on the bass. You can find us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Spotify! Thanks for visiting!...more
