John Butler Trio - Caroline lyrics

Got your eyes open, but you cannot see Got what you want, do you got what you need? The one day you see something you cannot bear Telling you girl, yes you better beware Her papa loved her so much you could see Loved her too much if you know what I mean So, she left home young, Yeah she moved town to town Looking for love that she never found She played it hard and yes she played it rough Made her feel safe and it made her feel tough And rock by rock she built those walls everyday Built herself a tower so far away And from up high in that castle She knew no one could get too close to touch And if life and d**h were such a game Why did they all make such a fuss? And if birds could fly high over their troubles She gonna find some of her own wings and fly And no one could convince or pay her double Or tell her she was too young to die Oh Caroline, Caroline
