Walking down Broadway, pacing the streets in ChinatownWalk them so much, will walk them whenI'm old and hunched over, maybe with a friendMaybe with my love, or maybe aloneCirclin' the globe I ache with midnight loneliness, my heart turns blackThe demons nest inside my soul when each night comes and I close the doorI feel the cold, I see the digital clocks and face the ceiling layin' on my backGot no willpower, honestly, I crave your touch to comfort meCarolineYou're always in my heartCarolineThough I've lied before and I don't deserve yourCarolineI don't deserve your kindnessCarolineThe Holiday Inn, the Hilton Hotel, the Intercontinental, the Admiral FellEmbassy Suites, Islington, Jurys Inn, Doubletrees, got a nice pool where I swimScandic Stockholm has got a nice gym, baths and saunas to soak in my sinsMarriot Courtyard, Radisson Blu, wherever I am I try to reach youCause nothing's better than any given dayLaying in bed with you, looking out at the bayWatchin' a movie, or watching' a fightSongtexteLike when Manny Pacquiao had an easy nightOf Ricky Hatton and I rolled overAnd kissed your neck, and I smelled your skinAnd I still fall in love with you every timeThat I hold you close and I look in your eyesCarolineYou always seem to find a way...CarolineWhen I'm lost at sea like an old ghost shipCarolineWhen I'm hidin' behind walls and I stop seeing my friendsCarolineWhen I don't feel like talkingWhen I'm messy as Nordic DecemberDisconnected and cannot rememberIf last Christmas we had spent togetherIf I'm alive or I'm a soft grey cloudSleepwalkin' through traffic lights downtownWhen I can't discern, cannot decipherPages fallin' from the soul typewriterCarolineAre we runnin' out of time?
