Caroline

I hear you’re driving
Someone else’s car now…
She said you came and
Took your stuff away —
All the poetry, and the trunk
You kept your life in —
I knew that it would
Come to that someday…
Like a sad hallucination
When I opened up my eyes
The train had passed the station
And you were trapped inside…
Yet I never wonder where you went
I only wonder why
I wonder why…
Oh Caroline
Oh, whoa-oh Caroline
Oh, oh Caroline
Whoa whoa whoa, Caroline
Well I hear you’re using someone else’s number;
She said she saw you in the store today
It doesn’t matter whose address
You’re listed under
I only know they’ll never make you stay
Like a memory in motion
You were only passing through…
That is all you’ve ever known of life
That’s all you’ll ever do
There’s a dream I have where I sail away;
Looking back I wave at you
And I wave goodbye…
Oh Caroline
Oh, oh whoa oh, Caroline
Oh, oh Caroline
Oh
In another life I see you
As an angel flying high
And the hands of time will free you —
You will cast your chains aside —
And the dawn will come and kiss away
Every tear that’s ever fallen
From your eyes…
Behind those eyes
I wonder
Oh, Caroline… oh, oh, oh…
Oh, oh… Caroline…
Sometimes I wonder…
Oh… Caroline
Sometimes I
Sometimes I wonder…
