lyrics

She won’t be here for long
As if she never left at all
She spreads out on the floor
And Caroline’s been here before

I found here there on the doorstep
A cigarette in her hand

Well she’s more afraid of asking
Than hunger shame or cold
And she’s masking all the bruises and the lines

She left four months ago
She didn’t write she didn’t call
I think about her now and then
But Caroline fell down again

She said she wrote me a postcard
Said it was lost in the mail

Last night I found her weeping
To a country music station
She said I’m not used to feeling anymore

To the lord of all things broken down
Won’t you leave this one alone
Its a burden borne on slender shoulders
And I can’t walk alone

She’s got bad taste in men
The ones she always tries defending
I see them all before they leave
But Caroline’s been sleeping in

This morning I lost my temper
She says she can’t face the day

Sometimes she’s so elated
But she always takes the blame
She’s down and out and desperately ashamed

She hates to say goodbye
She hates to let me see her cry
I close my eyes and count to ten
And Caroline’s not here again
I found a note pinned on the wall
And Caroline’s here anymore
