Caroline Lyrics

The song Caroline is performed by Harry Chapin in the album named On the Road to Kingdom Come in the year 1993 .

Caroline
Comes from the rain
Glistening and shivering
She laughs as she shakes off the weather

Caroline
Whispers her words
Saying she'll always love me
At least when we are together

Caroline
Starts closing in
Surrounding the spot
Where watching in wonder I stand

Caroline
She's shedding her rings
Her bracelets and stockings
And placing her skin still moist in the palm of my hand

You're pressing she smiles
It's too soon to ask
For me to cast off my cover
You a*sume that I'm caught
Up there in your head
So now I must go to my lover

Her world is such a sudden place
A minute flashed before my face
To fly to feel to fall from grace
Oh Caroline, I'm leaning, careening

This bubble that I choose to chase
Keeps breaking on the brink of space
Just as I'm about to taste
It's meaning, Caroline

Caroline
Comes from the full moon
Trembling and grieving
Afraid of the march of the seasons

Caroline
You're too young to be running
Too old to be lying
Too wise not to see all the reasons

Caroline
Hangs her cape and her jeans
And surrenders her tears
To christen my pillow with sorrow

Caroline
Remains after times
To explain what she means, she speaks of today
More than she dreams of tomorrow

She says, never has life
Been so full of the urge
To let go of the night and believe
She collects all her things
While she's still of a mind
So soft it's like breathing she leaves

Her world is such a sudden place
A minute flashed before my face
To fly to feel to fall from grace
Oh Caroline, I'm leaning, careening

This bubble that I choose to chase
Keeps breaking on the brink of space
Just as I'm about to taste
It's meaning, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline
