We Will Not Leave - Candyland

My love lives in a white tower

Not ivory but cement

The road outside is covered in leaves

The pavement’s always wet

The traffic stinks, it rushes by

We’re awake all night

And all we hear are passing trains

Living in the wake of a hurricane

But we will not leave

We will not leave

The windows leak, the light’s too bright

The doors are all kicked in

Someone got attacked downstairs

We didn’t do a thing

Whenever we can, we steal the time

Up the winding stairs we climb

And all we hear are passing trains

Living in the wake of a hurricane

But we will not leave

We will not leave

From the heights where we look out

The air begins to thin

Here the vines can climb no higher

Barbed wire roses cling

The floors are purest concrete

And she the warmest marble

And all we hear are passing trains

Living in the wake of a hurricane

But we will not leave

We will not leave
