CAROLINE

I woke up long after dawn
Twenty years had come and gone
I know when it changed for me
A day in June you came for me
Im seen through someone else's eyes
With nothing on the other side
Every motel every town
Pieces scattered all around

Promises that i can't beat
Someone's heart i couldn't keep
Days so long i couldn't speak
Roads so rocky i can't sleep
But i've seen things so beautiful
All around this broken world
That pale in comparison to you

Caroline i'm on my way back home to you
Imagine what i'm going through
Without you by my side
It's been a long long time
Oh won't you save your breath for me
I hope you will remember me
You're always on my mind

I've seen the canyon lands
With crooked lines like in your hands
You'd swear the earth would split in two
I wouldn't lie i promise you that
I have seen it you will too
You could not believe
If not for photographs i took for you
Caroline

They've built towers to the sky
It hurts sometimes to watch them try
But i know you will love it all the
City lights and city sounds
It's beauty in a struggle
But every time i feel it get me down
I see you smiling

Caroline i'm on my way back home to you
Imagine what i'm going through
Without you by my side
It's been a long long time
Oh won't you save your breath for me
I hope you will remember me
You're always on my mind my caroline
Oh my caroline

I've seen things in the sky
Stars and lights and birds and i
I've been rocking mountain high
And told them all about you because
You are still the only thing
That constantly amazes me
I love the road and i've been blessed
But i love you best

Caroline i'm on my way back home to you
Imagine what i'm going through
Without you by my side
It's been a long long time
Oh won't you save your breath for me
I hope you will remember me
You're always on my mind
You're always on my mind my caroline
Oh my caroline
