Walking down Broadway, pacing the streets in Chinatown Walk them so much, will walk them when I'm old and hunched over, maybe with a friend Maybe with my love, or maybe alone
Circlin' the globe I ache with midnight loneliness, my heart turns black The demons nest inside my soul when each night comes and I close the door I feel the cold, I see the digital clocks and face the ceiling layin' on my back Got no willpower, honestly, I crave your touch to comfort me
Caroline You're always in my heart Caroline Though I've lied before and I don't deserve your Caroline I don't deserve your kindness Caroline
The Holiday Inn, the Hilton Hotel, the Intercontinental, the Admiral Fell Embassy Suites, Islington, Jurys Inn, Doubletrees, got a nice pool where I swim Scandic Stockholm has got a nice gym, baths and saunas to soak in my sins Marriot Courtyard, Radisson Blu, wherever I am I try to reach you
Cause nothing's better than any given day Laying in bed with you, looking out at the bay Watchin' a movie, or watching' a fight Like when Manny Pacquiao had an easy night Of Ricky Hatton and I rolled over And kissed your neck, and I smelled your skin And I still fall in love with you every time That I hold you close and I look in your eyes
Caroline You always seem to find a way... Caroline When I'm lost at sea like an old ghost ship Caroline When I'm hidin' behind walls and I stop seeing my friends Caroline When I don't feel like talking
When I'm messy as Nordic December Disconnected and cannot remember If last Christmas we had spent together If I'm alive or I'm a soft grey cloud Sleepwalkin' through traffic lights downtown When I can't discern, cannot decipher Pages fallin' from the soul typewriter
Caroline Are we runnin' out of time? Caroline Cause there's no one I could find Caroline Without you I'm no one Caroline
This mornin' I woke up next to my love and her terrier pup She went off worked her day long and I stayed home and I wrote songs Took my brain down the block and drank iced tea at the coffee shop My agent called, said "I've got somethin' for ya Halifax, Nova Scotia, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Netherlands, London U.K., then come back home, Seattle, Portland, L.A.," Walkin' down Broadway through the streets in Chinatown, I scratched my head And I looked down, still be walkin' them when I'm old, maybe with a friend Maybe with my love, maybe alone
