[Verse 1]
When, oh, when you read this note
And you hear the words I never spoke
When they're stuck inside your throat, you'll see
But underneath this sheepish grin
Is a wolf who keeps on creeping in
Oh, Caroline, he's sinking into me
[Chorus]
I hear the children on the trampoline
As the day is long, they laugh and scream
And all I hear are wedding bells
And I hope that I don't wake you now
[Verse 2]
Joy comes in the morning light
I have a feeling with these words I write
The darkness that I'm leaving is herе to stay
And yes, I know what I leave bеhind
But this circus is pantomime
I try too hard to make it mine anyway
[Chorus]
I hear the children on the trampoline
As the day is long, they laugh and scream
And all I hear are wedding bells
And I hope that I don't wake you now
[Bridge]
Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroleen (Caroleen)
I'm forever in this in-between (In-between)
Where it's easier to walk away
Than it is to stay
[Outro]
Even now as I leave this town
And I stop myself from turning 'round
I feel your breath upon my back again
