Caroline

<br>Caroline <br>Comes from the rain <br>Glistening and shivering <br>She laughs as she shakes off the weather <br>Caroline <br>Whispers her words <br>Saying she`ll always love me <br>At least when we are together <br>Caroline <br>Starts closing in <br>Surrounding the spot <br>Where watching in wonder I stand <br>Caroline <br>She`s shedding her rings <br>Her bracelets and stockings <br>And placing her skin still moist in the palm of my hand <br><br>You`re pressing she smiles <br>It`s too soon to ask <br>For me to cast off my cover <br>You assume that I`m caught <br>Up there in your head <br>So now I must go to my lover. <br><br>Her world is such a sudden place <br>A minute flashed before my face <br>To fly to feel to fall from grace <br>Oh Caroline - I`m leaning, careening <br><br>This bubble that I choose to chase <br>Keeps breaking on the brink of space <br>Just as I`m about to taste <br>It`s meaning - Caroline <br><br>Caroline <br>Comes from the full moon <br>Trembling and grieving <br>Afraid of the march of the seasons <br>Caroline <br>You`re too young to be running <br>Too old to be lying <br>Too wise not to see all the reasons <br>Caroline <br>Hangs her cape and her jeans <br>And surrenders her tears <br>To christen my pillow with sorrow <br>Caroline <br>She remains after times <br>To explain what she means, she speaks of today <br>More than she dreams of tomorrow <br><br>She says - Never has life <br>Been so full of the urge <br>To let go of the night and believe <br>She collects all her things <br>While she`s still of a mind <br>So soft it`s like breathing she leaves.
