I woke up long after dawn
20 years had come and gone
I know when it changed for me
A day in June you came to me
I´ve seen through someone else´s eyes
With nothin´ on the other side
Every motel every town
Pieces scattered all around

Promises that I can´t be
Someone´s heart that I can´t keep
Days so long I coudn´t speak
Roads so rocky I can´t sleep
But I´ve seen things so beautiful
All around this broken world
That pale in comparison to you

Caroline
I´m on my way back home to you
Can´t imagine what I´m goin´ though
Without you by my side
It´s been a long long time
Oh won´t you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me
You´re always on my mind

I have seen the canyon lands
Crooked lines like in your hands
You´d swear the earth was split in two
I wouldn´t lie I promise you that I have seen it, you will too
You could not believe if not for photographs I took for you Caroline

They´ve built towers to the sky
It hurts sometimes to watch them try
They run themselves into the ground
But I know you will love them
And their city lights and city sounds
There´s beauty in the struggle
Anytime I feel it get me down I see you smilin´

Caroline
I´m on my way back home to you
Can´t imagine what I´m going through without you by my side
It´s been a long long time
Oh won´t you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me
You´re always on my mind, my Caroline
Oh, my Caroline

Now I have seen things in the sky
Stars and lights and birds and I
I´ve been rocky mountain high and told them all about you
Because you are still the only thing that constantly amazes me
I love the road and I´ve been blessed but I love you best

Caroline
I´m on my way back home to you
Can´t imagine what I´m goin through with out you by my side
It´s been a long long time
Oh won´t you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me
You´re always on my mind
You were always on my mind, my Caroline
Oh, my my my my Caroline
