I woke up long after dawn, 20 years had come and gone
I know when it changed for me, a day in June you came to me
I've seen through someone else's eyes with nothing on the other side
Every motel, every town pieces scattered all around
Promises that I can't be, someone's heart that I can't keep
Days so long I couldn't speak, roads so rocky I can't sleep
But I've seen things so beautiful all around this broken world
That pale in comparison to you
Caroline I'm on my way back home to you
Imagine what I'm going through without you by my side
It's been a long, long time, oh won't you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me, you are always on my mind
I have seen the canyon lands, crooked lines like in your hands
You'd swear the earth was split in two, I wouldn't lie I promise you
That I have seen it, you will too, you could not believe if not for
Photographs I took for you, Caroline
They've built towers to the sky it hurts sometimes to watch them try
They run themselves into the ground but I know you will love them
And their city lights and city sounds, there's beauty in the struggle
Anytime I feel it get me down I see you smiling
Caroline I'm on my way back home to you
Imagine what I'm going through without you by my side
It's been a long, long time, oh won't you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me, you are always on my mind
My Caroline
Now I have seen things in the sky: stars and lights and birds and I
I've been rocky mountain high and told them all about you
Because you are still the only thing that constantly amazes me
I love the road and I've been blessed but I love you best
Caroline I'm on my way back home to you
Imagine what I'm going through without you by my side
It's been a long, long time, oh won't you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me, you are always on my mind
You are always on my mind, my Caroline
