Civilian Caroline
Caroline, at the end of my life
Will the magic subside
What if I find that your fingers in mine
Coincide with my passing
And there in the void, in the infinite dark
A still small voice begins to talk
Asking, "What have you done?
Whom have you loved?
Was I not enough?
Tell me, what do you want?"
Then I'd beg and I'd plead
"Please release me from thee"
Eternity's long and heaven is far
Because you didn't know
That I am much happier now
You didn't know that I'm not lonely anymore
Back to the earth I gladly return
As divinity hurls me from limbo
So I wander the globe in pursuit of a love
That appeared all at once and unannounced
Because you didn't know
That I am much happier now
You didn't know that I'm not lonely anymore
You were the best part of every story
The best part is you didn't know
That I am much happier now
You didn't know that I'm not lonely anymore
Caroline, at the end of my life
Will the magic subside?
