Walkin' Away from Caroline

caroline puts dylan on, she always sings along
she gets the words all wrong
she falls out of time but it sounds just fine
caroline says no one else could take my place
she says it's my honest face and my simple heart
and my constant mind
man i'm as fickle as a ten-cent knife
i'm an anchorless vessel on the ocean of life
and i'm walkin' away from caroline

caroline says that it ain't no good to shout
she don't want to be drawn out
she's a one-eyed witch in a world gone blind
caroline says no one else could understand
how she's a woman and she's a man
she's a gust of wind, she's a creepin' vine
man all i know is that life ain't fair
and it's four in the morning and i just don't care
and i'm walkin' away from caroline

so i tell caroline i'm afraid to feel too much
i say, though i'm cold to touch
still i burn inside and i just need time
caroline says that she don't mind the wait
she says that it's only fate, and it's no one's fault
and it's no one's crime
and caroline swears, she says "i love you"
man i know she's lyin' cause i'm lyin', too
and i'm walkin' away from caroline
