about

The second in a trilogy of songs (Country Girl, Caroline, and Wild Horse) a tale of love gained and lost. The second piece is about the Character, who falls in love with the Country Girl in part one and his dreamlike fantasies while being in the relationship.

lyrics

Oh Caroline
Sweet Caroline
You're lyin' in fields of grass, cowgirl boots on
Oh Caroline
Sweet Caroline
You're angelic beauty shimmering in the Summer Sun
Oh Caroline
Sweet Caroline
You're youthful pale white body, wavy blonde hair, in field of daffodils
Oh Caroline
Sweet Caroline
You gaze into me hand on your hip, lay into me with Country Girl quip

But something, holds me back
I feel a darkness rise up in me
Are you the one who can calm this raging sea?

All American girl, weed between rosie lips
Walking a pathway flirtatiously holding your hand in mine
Treading alone on a country road, blue dress on
Cowgirl hat, guitar strapped on your back, suitcase full of dreams

But something, holds me back
I feel a darkness rise up in me
Are you the one who can calm this raging sea?

In another life, another time
You and I are asleep in a homestead under snow white sheets
Wolves howl as our love echoes in the forests and the canyons of a full moon night
Harsh rivers flowing by our stables, make love in the candlelight
You hold me tenderly in your embrace
Soft kisses, place your slender body, gently close to mine

But something, holds me back
I hear a darkness rise up in me
Are you the one who can calm this raging sea?

I awake you're cooking flapjacks and making coffee
Prepare my pioneers suit, Sunday's best
Kiss me ever so tragically, cowering in a ric rac dress
Teardrops of sadness as you watch me sail away...
