Lyrics:
Candy says I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
What others so discretely talk about

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Candy says I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

I clicked on this after seeing a video about trans figures who either created or inspired various songs. I heard a small snippet of this song and I felt captured by it immediately. I'm glad I found a video with clips of the real Candy who inspired this song. I didn't realize she was so beautiful and striking. It's like you can't take your eyes off of her.

I had no idea who Candy Darling was until I heard this song. What a beautiful tribute to her. In both song and video!💋

A unique person that lived a short life.

Preciosa canción🌺.
Llegué aquí por la versión de Martin Gore que me encantó.
Ahora conozco algo de Candy.
Y la letra es encantadora.
Gracias x compartir!
