Caroline

[Verse 1: Brandi Carlile] 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 to me I've seen through someone else's eyes With nothin' on the other side Every motel, every town Pieces scattered all around [Verse 2] 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 I've seen things so beautiful All around this broken world That pale in comparison to you [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3: Brandi Carlile & Elton John] 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 [Verse 4: Brandi Carlile] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] 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 You were always on my mind My Caroline
