Caroline

well there’s been a cold wind blowing and it bore the tune
of every one of my mistakes
i’m trying to turn back off a one-way track
to the lonesome death of tom yates

now you and i, we never worked so well
but second time around
we set a better feel, a new deal
feet on the ground

  and we are free – i don’t wanna chain you
  say you love me, but don’t pretend you’re mine
  and when i fail, how could i blame you?
  i’m a fool without you, a fool to doubt you, caroline

well by the word of the lord were the heavens made
and all his works in truth
but the devil’s den, it calls out to men
along a road that’s oily smooth

now i’d like to think that my will is strong
and i’d never stray
but take my hand – it’s a troubled land
and a man could lose his way

  but let’s stay free...
 
well from the old grey towers to the palace pier
from l.a. to paris and berlin
i’ve loved and lost, paid the cost
now i’m reeling it all in

i’ve seen too many hearts bestowed
and carelessly returned
but now with you i’ve a better view
and if there’s anything i’ve learned

  it’s to be free...
