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
