Walking down Broadway
Pacing the streets of Chinatown
Walk them so much
Be walking them when I'm old and unsure
Maybe with a friend, maybe with my love
Or maybe alone
Circling the globe, I ache within
That loneliness
My heart turns black
A demon's nest inside my soul
And each night comes and I close the door
I feel the cold, I see the digital clocks
I face the ceiling laying on my back
I've got no willpower, honestly
And I crave your touch to comfort me
(Caroline)
You're always in my heart and in my head
(Caroline)
Though I've lied before and I don't deserve your
(Caroline)
I don't deserve your kindness or your time

The Holiday Inn
The Hilton Hotel
The Intercontinental
The Admiral Fell
Embassy Suites
Islington
Jurys Inn
Doubletree's
Got a nice pool where I swim
Scandic Stockholm's got a nice gym
And bathes 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 at the bay
Watching 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)
Caroline
You always seem to find me when I'm lost
(Caroline)
When I'm lost at sea like an old ghost ship
(Caroline)
When I'm hiding behind walls and I stop seeing my friends
(Caroline)
When I don't feel like talking
When I'm icy 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
Sleepwalking through traffic lights downtown
When I can't discern, cannot decipher
Pages falling from this old typewriter
(Caroline)
Caroline
Are we running out of time? Well I hope we're not
(Caroline)
Cause there's no one I could find to get over
(Caroline)
Without you I'm no one (?)
(Caroline)
This morning 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 ice tea at the coffee shop
My agent called said, I've got something for ya
in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Netherlands, London, UK
Then come back home
Seattle, Portland, LA.
Walking down Broadway through the streets of Chinatown
Just scratch my head and I looked down
And still be walking them when I'm old
Maybe with a friend
Maybe with my love
Or maybe alone
