Caroline

I woke up long after dawn

20 years had come and gone

I know when it changed for me

A day in June you came to me

I've 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 be

Someone's heart that I can'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

Can't imagine what I'm going through

Without you by my side

It's been a long long time

Oh won't you say a prayer for me

I hope you will remember me

You're always on my mind

I have seen the canyon lands

Crooked lines like in your hands

You'd swear the earth was 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

They run themselves into the ground

But I know you will love them

And their city lights and city sounds

There's beauty in the struggle

Anytime I feel it get me down

I see you smiling

Caroline I'm on my way back home to you

Can't imagine what I'm goin' through

Without you by my side

It's been a long long time

Oh won't you say a prayer for me

I hope you will remember me

You're always on my mind

My Caroline

Now I have seen things in the sky

Stars and lights and birds and I

I've been rocky 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

Can't imagine what I'm going through

Without you by my side

It's been a long long time

Oh won't you say a prayer for me

I hope you will remember me

You're always on my mind

You were always on my mind

My Caroline
