Banfi - Caroline

Lying here in bed,
with things we never said.
You're always the first to sleep.
I whisper my goodbye,
To all the happy lights.
Wrapped around our ugly tree.

Come sunrise, your soft eyes,
Will frown up my footprints in the snow.
Come new year, you know dear,
I lead you down a short line.

And I'm so sorry Caroline,
The more you became my home.
The more I was made to let you go.
We lost our fight for time,
And I'm so sorry Caroline,
I'll try not to wake the house,
I wish I could stay, and hold you now.
We lost our fight for time, for life.
and somethings that never came true.
For me and you.

December '85,
Grandchildren arrive,
Pride can be a lovely thing,
Everything I've missed,
Reminds you of that christmas eve,
When life was caving in.

Come sundown, this small town,
Looks a bit like the place we fell in love.
Come new year, you'll know dear,
I lead you down a short line.

And I'm so sorry Caroline,
The more you became my home.
The more I was made to let you go.
We lost our fight for time,
And I'm so sorry Caroline,
I'll try not to wake the house,
I wish I could stay, and hold you now.
We lost our fight for time, for life.
And somethings that never came true.
For me and you.

Come twilight, this long ride,
Is moving toward the afterglow.
Come new year, you'll be here,
With me on this short line.

And I'm still sorry Caroline,
The more you became my home.
The more I was made to let you go.
We lost our fight for time,
And I'm so sorry Caroline,
I'll try not to wake the house,
I wish I could stay, and hold you now.
We lost our fight for time, for life.
And somethings that never came true.
For me and you.
