Rain pouring down
In this old New England town
Light crawls away
In the hopeless wind of dreams gone astray
Singing hold on, hold on, please wait
I've got to make it right today
Oh my Caroline
Won't you give me some time
To take back what I never meant to say
Oh my Caroline
Won't you give me some time
'Cause these nights I just can't find the dawn
And it's been going on for way too long
Fear, angst, and rage
I'm moving like a hawk in a cage
Blood growing old
Hollowed by the stories we've been told
Singing hold on, hold on, please wait
I've got to make it right today
Oh my Caroline
Won't you give me some time
To take back what I never meant to say
Oh my Caroline
Won't you give me a little time
'Cause these nights I just can't find the dawn
And it's been going on for way too long
Your one way stride
And my toothless pride
Put riddles in my head
This matchstick scene
That's hurt blue and green
Has painted my mind red
Oh my Caroline
Won't you give me some time
To take back what I never meant to say
Oh my Caroline
Won't you give me a little time
'Cause these nights I just can't find the dawn
And it's been going on for way too long
It's been going on too long
Caroline
