Caroline Lyrics - Give Up The Ghost - Brandi Carlile

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 couldn'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' 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 

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 smiling 

Photos 

Caroline, I'm on my way back home to you 

Can't imagine what I'm goin' 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 

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 

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 

You were always on my mind 

My Caroline
