John Butler Trio - Caroline lyrics

rate me

Got your eyes open but you cannot see

Got what you want do you got what you need?

Til one day you see something you cannot bear

Telling you girl yes you better beware

Her papa loved her so much you could see

Loved her too much if you know what I mean

So she left home young yes she moved down to town

Looking for love that she never found

She played it hard and yes she played it rough

Made her feel safe and it made her feel tough

And rock by rock she built those walls everyday

Built herself a tower so far away

From up high in that castle

She knew no one could get too close to touch

And if life and death were such a game why did they all make such a fuss?

And if birds could fly high over their troubles

She's gonna find some of her own wings and fly

And no one can convince or pay her double or tell her she was too young to die

Ohhh Caroline, Caroline

Ohhh Caroline, Caroline

Ohhh Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline
