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…
