Barron Harley - Caretaker Lyrics

N the courtyard here in paradise
The fountain doesn't freeze in the winter
There's never any ice in the pipes
So I am one lucky caretaker
I collect my pay in the managers office
I head home for the season
Gonna see my wife and my boy
Feels like six months since I seen 'em
Now I'm stepping out
To where the platform awaits
There's no creakin' as I'm leavin'
I'm the man that oils the gate
I'll be back here sooner
Than I'd have hoped
Or I'd have liked
Thats the job of a caretaker
Here in paradise

But I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker
I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker

Theres a thousand yard stare
Comes with being a paradise keeper
Its the light that leaves your eyes
There on the platform
First week of winter
I service all my concerns minus my doubts and my reason
I leave these last for spring
When the ice thaws
And I'm back to feeling like
I'm stepping out
To where the platform awaits
The banisters all polished
With all the care that I could take
I'll be back here sooner than I'd have hoped
Or I'd have liked But that's the job of a caretaker
Here in paradise

But I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker
I know just where I'm headed
When I'm headed home to you
Caretaker
