Caroleen

[Verse 1] When, oh, when you read this note And you hear the words I never spoke When they're stuck inside your throat, you'll see But underneath this sheepish grin Is a wolf who keeps on creeping in Oh, Caroline, he's sinking into me [Chorus] I hear the children on the trampoline As the day is long, they laugh and scream And all I hear are wedding bells And I hope that I don't wake you now [Verse 2] Joy comes in the morning light I have a feeling with these words I write The darkness that I'm leaving is herе to stay And yes, I know what I leave bеhind But this circus is pantomime I try too hard to make it mine anyway [Chorus] I hear the children on the trampoline As the day is long, they laugh and scream And all I hear are wedding bells And I hope that I don't wake you now [Bridge] Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroleen (Caroleen) I'm forever in this in-between (In-between) Where it's easier to walk away Than it is to stay [Outro] Even now as I leave this town And I stop myself from turning 'round I feel your breath upon my back again
