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.
