Caroline (Live)

Lyrics

Walking down Broadway, pacing the streets in Chinatown
 Walk them so much, will walk them when
 I'm old and hunched over, maybe with a friend
 Maybe with my love, or maybe alone
 Circlin' the globe I ache with midnight loneliness, my heart turns black
 The demons nest inside my soul when each night comes and I close the door
 I feel the cold, I see the digital clocks and face the ceiling layin' on my back
 Got no willpower, honestly, I crave your touch to comfort me
 Caroline
 You're always in my heart
 Caroline
 Though I've lied before and I don't deserve your
 Caroline
 I don't deserve your kindness
 Caroline
 The Holiday Inn, the Hilton Hotel, the Intercontinental, the Admiral Fell
 Embassy Suites, Islington, Jurys Inn, Doubletrees, got a nice pool where I swim
 Scandic Stockholm has got a nice gym, baths and saunas to soak in my sins
 Marriot Courtyard, Radisson Blu, wherever I am I try to reach you
 Cause nothing's better than any given day
 Laying in bed with you, looking out at the bay
 Watchin' a movie, or watching' a fight
 Like when Manny Pacquiao had an easy night
 Of Ricky Hatton and I rolled over
 And kissed your neck, and I smelled your skin
 And I still fall in love with you every time
 That I hold you close and I look in your eyes
 Caroline
 You always seem to find a way...
 Caroline
 When I'm lost at sea like an old ghost ship
 Caroline
 When I'm hidin' behind walls and I stop seeing my friends
 Caroline
 When I don't feel like talking
 When I'm messy as Nordic December
 Disconnected and cannot remember
 If last Christmas we had spent together
 If I'm alive or I'm a soft grey cloud
 Sleepwalkin' through traffic lights downtown
 When I can't discern, cannot decipher
 Pages fallin' from the soul typewriter
 Caroline
 Are we runnin' out of time?
 Caroline
 Cause there's no one I could find
 Caroline
 Without you I'm no one
 Caroline
 This mornin' I woke up next to my love and her terrier pup
 She went off worked her day long and I stayed home and I wrote songs
 Took my brain down the block and drank iced tea at the coffee shop
 My agent called, said "I've got somethin' for ya
 Halifax, Nova Scotia, Winnipeg, Manitoba,
 Netherlands, London U.K., then come back home, Seattle, Portland, L.A.,"
 Walkin' down Broadway through the streets in Chinatown, I scratched my head
 And I looked down, still be walkin' them when I'm old, maybe with a friend
 Maybe with my love, maybe alone
