Caroline Williams

I read the wrong invitation
Because the date in my mind
Said next Thursday about a quarter to nine
Pick me up at my place, we can go on from there
Can’t wait to see you, it’s been so long babe

By all indications, we were just fine
At least that’s how I had it made up in my mind

But the lights were dark and a note on the door
Read, Caroline Williams don’t live here anymore

I have a pre-disposition to be on the go
Sunrise and new skies are the faces I know
Should have seen it coming, should have looked for a sign
Missing a phone call, getting lost on the wire

So many ways, I was wrong
But I never thought you’d leave after staying so long

The lights were dark and a note on the door
Read, Caroline Williams don’t live here anymore
Caroline Williams don’t live here anymore

Pages keep turning, missing the days you saved away
Walking through turnstiles, trying to count the ways
That you paid into each other

The lights were dark and a note on the door
Read, Caroline Williams don’t live here anymore
The lights were dark and the note on the door
Caroline Williams don’t live here anymore
