Caroline, in the late September sun You blew my mind, when I thought love was good and done The Sable River, the shiver no one could have seen My heart was bursting at the seams Oh, Caroline Caroline, I thought she'd give me all I need I dug the lines and scattered every little seed Not a blossom, the clouds hugged every drop of rain Love dried up and left again Oh, Caroline Sleep keeps sneaking out the open door Here's my suitcase splattered on the floor The kitchen clock has stopped, just short of four Caroline, did I meet you once before? By the banks where birds went shelling by the shore I took a picture, you were merciful in dreams I couldn't capture what you mean Oh Caroline Oh Caroline In the late September sun You blew my mind, when I thought love was good and done
