I saw a woman walking down the street
Her smile was bitter and her eyes were deep
Her dress was torn her hands were cold
She held a story never told
She stopped a moment on the dusty ground
She looked at me and never made a sound
I felt the weight of something I had lost
The kind of love that cuts you like a frost
Oh honey won't you give me what you got
A little sugar and a little spot
The world is spinning and I'm on my own
Just a candy man who walks alone
The moon is hanging low above the tracks
The train is gone and nothing's coming back
I roll a cigarette to kill the time
And write a song that never seems to rhyme
Oh honey won't you give me what you got
A little sugar and a little spot
The world is spinning and I'm on my own
Just a candy man who walks alone
I used to think the road would set me free
But every town just looked the same to me
I trade my dreams for silver and for bread
And sleep beside the words I never said
Oh honey won't you give me what you got
A little sugar and a little spot
The world is spinning and I'm on my own
Just a candy man who walks alone
Just a candy man
Just a candy man
Walking alone
