holding hands on frozen sidewalks
on the seashore
on the pier
you need someone better than me
and you'll know that
as soon as i'm not hereoh lovely caroline
you sprung out of this land
a mother hen flaming and frothing
but your tears only distract
the facts have long been sung
in the end
we will be one
but until that end we'll be apart
surrounded by the snow
that's piled up in place of the love
we used to know
oh silly caroline
your false heart condemns
this house that we built out of empty
oh silly caroline
i'm never coming back to this land
but i'll always take you with meyour promises betray
all the things you couldn't say
the clenching of your fists
can't squeeze the feeling
abandoned and forgot
the love you left to rot
you only notice paint when it's peeling
kind words can do a lot
but there's no replacing time
if you'd kindly just stop talking
and pour me another glass of wine
oh silly caroline
your false heart condemns
this house that we built out of empty
oh silly caroline
i'm never coming back to this land
but i'll always take you with me
