Caroline Lyrics

 Caroline 
 Comes from the rain 
 Glistening and shivering 
 She laughs as she shakes off the weather 
 Caroline 
 Whispers her words 
 Saying she'll always love me 
 At least when we are together 
 Caroline 
 Starts closing in 
 Surrounding the spot 
 Where watching in wonder I stand 
 Caroline 
 She's shedding her rings 
 Her bracelets and stockings 
 And placing her skin still moist in the palm of my hand 

 You're pressing she smiles 
 It's too soon to ask 
 For me to cast off my cover 
 You assume that I'm caught 
 Up there in your head 
 So now I must go to my lover. 

 Her world is such a sudden place 
 A minute flashed before my face 
 To fly to feel to fall from grace 
 Oh Caroline - I'm leaning, careening 

 This bubble that I choose to chase 
 Keeps breaking on the brink of space 
 Just as I'm about to taste 
 It's meaning - Caroline 

 Caroline 
 Comes from the full moon 
 Trembling and grieving 
 Afraid of the march of the seasons 
 Caroline 
 You're too young to be running 
 Too old to be lying 
 Too wise not to see all the reasons 
 Caroline 
 Hangs her cape and her jeans 
 And surrenders her tears 
 To christen my pillow with sorrow 
 Caroline 
 She remains after times 
 To explain what she means, she speaks of today 
 More than she dreams of tomorrow 

 She says - Never has life 
 Been so full of the urge 
 To let go of the night and believe 
 She collects all her things 
 While she's still of a mind 
 So soft it's like breathing she leaves.
