lyrics

I keep waking every morning with a whisper in my head.
The smell of her perfume, it still lingers in her corner of the bed.
If I’d known that she would leave me, I might never have approached her in that bar.
But I’m luckier than most to have loved her close rather than afar.

There’s still lipstick stains on glasses, and dresses on the floor.
There’s no beauty in a casket, no sense in asking for
something that you know is simply out of time,
so I thank God for the time when you were mine,
Caroline.

These days I go driving just to see where I end up.
From the corner of my eye, I still see her in that truck.
Her head against the window, and her feet up on the dash,
but when I turn to say hello, it’s just fields of sky and oak trees flying past.

There’s still lipstick stains on glasses, and dresses on the floor.
There’s no beauty in a casket, no sense in asking for
something that you know is simply out of time,
so I thank God for the time when you were mine,
Caroline.

There’s still lipstick stains on glasses, and dresses on the floor.
There’s no beauty in a casket, no sense in asking for
something that you know is simply out of time,
so I thank God for the time when you were mine,
Caroline.

I keep waking every morning with a whisper in my head.
