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 assume 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
 She 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
