Caroline

In your empty bed You remember every word she said And every word rings in your head Except, "I'm Sorry" And when the dark comes down Upon this stark and sullen town Will all her ghosts still hang around To wreck the party? Caroline on the breeze Whispering in the trees You caught her like a disease But they still haven't found the cure She took what she could skive With her transparent eyes And she starved herself of everything Money couldn't buy Caroline Another steel-gray dawn You wonder whether to go on When obligations linger on As if you made them You're so sick and tired Of disinfectants, cops, and lawyers
