When I opened up my eyes
Oh, oh, oh, Caroline
Oh, oh, oh, Caroline

In another life I see you as an angel flying high
Yet I never wonder where you went
She said she saw you in the store today

You were only passing through
Oh, oh Caroline, oh
It doesn't matter whose address you're listed under
All the poetry, and the trunk you kept your life in
Like a sad hallucination
And the dawn will come and kiss away
Oh Caroline
That is all you've ever known of life

Sometimes I wonder
I knew that it would come to that someday
There's a dream I have where I sail away

You will cast your chains aside
Well I hear you're using someone else's number
That's all you'll ever do
Every tear that's ever fallen from your eyes
Oh, oh Caroline
Like a memory in motion
I only wonder why, I wonder why

Oh, Caroline
Sometimes I
Behind those eyes I wonder
And you were trapped inside

Oh, oh, Caroline
I only know they'll never make you stay
Oh, Caroline, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh Caroline
Looking back I wave at you and I wave goodbye
The train had passed the station
And the hands of time will free you

Sometimes I wonder
Oh Caroline
Oh, Caroline
