Caroline

I keep waking every morning with a whisper in my head

The smell of her perfume, it still lingers in her corner of the bed

If I'd known that she would leave me

I might never have approached her in that bar

But I'm luckier than most to have loved her close rather than afar

There's still lipstick stains on glasses, and dresses on the floor

There's no beauty in a casket, no sense in asking for

Something that you know is simply out of time

So I thank God for the time when you were mine

Caroline

These days I go driving just to see where I end up

From the corner of my eye, I still see her in that truck

Her head against the window, and her feet up on the dash

But when I turn to say hello

It's just fields of sky and oak trees flying past

There's still lipstick stains on glasses, and dresses on the floor

There's no beauty in a casket, no sense in asking for

Something that you know is simply out of time

So I thank God for the time when you were mine
