lyrics

She came to town in summer
she came to town in a low cut dress
she came to town looking for a lover
she was the girl I loved the best

She smelt of brandy and wild flowers
her lustrous hair was black as coal
we would lie atop the cliffs for hours
her blue eyes they pierced my soul

She said wait my love
but I've seen enough of this old world
to know she's thinking of not coming home

As August rolled into September
as the grain became so gold
she locked herself up with a decanter
she said she could not stand the cold

Like the birds she flew southwards
like a bird she's here and gone
but I still see her yearning skywards
although she left me all alone

I wish I was in some dark hollow
where the sun don't ever shine
I would find myself a deep lake
and bid farewell to Caroline
