Caroline, you've gone and confused my mind with the ways that you wander   Your family's not there for you now and alone you go under   I recall lonley nights talkin' 'till two about the ideas you wonder   Are out there still, waiting to be discovered   And how they all wait alone   Waiting to be called home   Home ain't quite the same anymore   All the flowers are dead that once led to your door   And now dollar bills shingle the shack in which you shave   And tho' the sun is still red it slaps coldly on your face   And I've done you wrong   With this song that does you wrong   So I color my hands in black and blue   And they train me to see the best light for you   But it does you wrong   Yeah it does you wrong   Cause the chords can't remind   And words can't try to hide   The simple mistake I think you make   Even your best man won't miss you like I do
