I hear you're driving
someone else's car now-
she said you came and
took your stuff away
All the poetry and the trunk
you kept your life in-
I knew that it would
come to that someday

when I opened up my eyes-
the train had passed the station
and you where trapped inside
and I never wonder where you went
I only wonder why
Chorus:
Oh Caroline
Oh Caroline
Oh Caroline
Oh Caroline
I hear you're using someone else's number
she said she saw you in the store today
it don't matter whose address
you're listed under
I only know they'll never make you stay

you where only passing through
but that's all you'll ever do-
there's a dream I have where I sail away
and I'm looking back at you
and I wave goodbye
I wonder why I wonder
(Chorus)
