lyrics

"Caroline"

To love her I had to leave her, standing there in the sand
she looked back at me with a tear in her eye she said, 'when you awake you'll understand'

Caroline, oh Caroline I'll be back someday
I had to leave you to love you thoughts filled with pictures of you
there were dues to pay
now the sun doesn't shine like it did when you were mine
everything else fades away, Caroline

When I sleep she dances in my head but she's miles away
well i made off in the night like a rolling stone down a dark highway
I left her cold, left her bare, she told me to be careful there
with my heart on my sleeve
I told her I'd be back someday, hoping that she'll never change
constant calm nights in Carolina

Caroline, oh Caroline I'll be back someday
I had to leave you to love you thoughts filled with pictures of you
there were dues to pay
now the sun doesn't shine like it did when you were mine
everything else fades away, Caroline

In the company of my misery, I wake up under a strange sky
I peel the paint off the walls, find every little flaw
in everybody but her
when all the madness settles, and I'm half past dead
it'll make no difference where I lay my head
as long as its with

Caroline, oh Caroline I'll be back someday
I had to leave you to love you thoughts filled with pictures of you
there were dues to pay
now the sun doesn't shine like it did when you were mine
everything else fades away, Caroline
