Her bracelets and stockings
A minute flashed before my face
For me to cast off my cover
Starts closing in

While she's still of a mind
Just as I'm about to taste
Caroline

She laughs as she shakes off the weather
Remains after times
Trembling and grieving

Comes from the full moon
Too old to be lying
She collects all her things
Keeps breaking on the brink of space
More than she dreams of tomorrow
It's too soon to ask
And placing her skin still moist in the palm of my hand
Caroline
This bubble that I choose to chase
Oh Caroline, I'm leaning, careening
It's meaning, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline
You're too young to be running
Too wise not to see all the reasons

Caroline
A minute flashed before my face
Caroline
Afraid of the march of the seasons
To let go of the night and believe
To christen my pillow with sorrow

So now I must go to my lover
You're pressing she smiles
Glistening and shivering
To fly to feel to fall from grace
This bubble that I choose to chase
To fly to feel to fall from grace
Up there in your head
Her world is such a sudden place
Surrounding the spot

Caroline
Caroline

So soft it's like breathing she leaves
Just as I'm about to taste
Where watching in wonder I stand

It's meaning, Caroline
Saying she'll always love me
She says, never has life
And surrenders her tears
Whispers her words
Keeps breaking on the brink of space
Her world is such a sudden place
Oh Caroline, I'm leaning, careening
Been so full of the urge

To explain what she means, she speaks of today
Hangs her cape and her jeans

You assume that I'm caught
At least when we are together
She's shedding her rings
Caroline
