I woke up long after dawn Twenty 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 eye With nothing on the other side Every motel every town Pieces scattered all around Promises that I can't beat Someone's heart that I can't keep Days so long I couldn't speak Roads so rocky I can't sleep 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 was 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're 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 to 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 a struggle Any time I feel it get me down I see you smiling Caroline, I'm on my way back home to you Can't imagine what I was 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're always on my mind, my Caroline Oh, my Caroline Now I have seen things in the sky Stars and lights and birds and I I've been rocky mountain high 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 I love you best Caroline, I'm on my way back home to you Can't imagine what I was 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're always on my mind You were always on my mind, my Caroline Oh, my my my Caroline
