You and I had traveled different avenues Your money gave you choices that I never knew Met you on the backdrop of that 60's scene You were slightly older, I was 17 (chorus) Caroline, Caroline Those days are gone but the years were kind
I was on the darkside, you were in the sun You had all the answers, I had none Funny how life throws us curves we can't avoid Why is it we grow older and more paranoid (chorus)
Never had direction how the wind would blow Caught up in the chaos of the undertow Me, I tried remaining while most others went Now we reminisce on how our lives were spent (chorus)
