Set ‘em up Joe
And pour me another
Memory
I really should go
But there ain’t no other
Place I gotta be
Every night I watch the same old faces
Wander in from the same old places
And all I’m looking for is just a trace of
Caroline
Its over I know
But I can’t get her
Off of my mind

Caroline shone
Like an August moon
Arisen from the sea
How could I have known
That falling into love
Meant falling out of me?
Sinking deeper in her sweet embraces
Drowning in a tide of tears and rages
Gasping for my life and just a trace of
Caroline
She comes and she goes
Stopping only
To leave me behind

You might think of this a grand obsession
C Just the product of an old fool’s dream
H If its my death then its my resurrection
O Every time she knocks me down
R I get back on my knees
U Don’t you tell me that I’m wrong
S ‘Cause I know what I need
I know just what I need
I need Caroline

She gets in your blood
And settles in a dark part
Of your soul
You think that its love
Oh but its so much more
And then she takes control
She’ll lead your heart through labyrinthine mazes
Fly you to the moon in all its phases
Until you hunger for the only taste to
Ease your mind
There’s no afterglow
Only traces of Caroline

You might think of this a grand obsession
Just the product of an old fool’s dream
If its my death then its my resurrection
Every time she knocks me down
I get back on my knees
Don’t you tell me that I’m wrong
‘Cause I know what I need
I know just what I need
I need Caroline
I need Caroline
I need Caroline
