Caroline Lyrics

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.
