lirik lagu caroline – emma lloyd
the night you came in from the cold was a night in november
the fire had already burned its way down to an ember
i woke in the night as the wind set the chimney to roar
but all i could hear was the sound of your knock at the door
you whispered my name through the cracks in the door and the plaster
and as i sat listening the wind came on faster and faster
the storm was assaulting the latch which was slipping awry
it didn’t give up to the wind, but it did to your cry:
“oh, don’t you miss me, caroline
and isn’t it cold by your side?
oh, don’t you love me, caroline?
now, don’t you run and hide
i’ll keep you with me, caroline
through sorrow, or through sin
and if you ever loved me, dear
why won’t you let me in?”
oh
i took down my gun from the wall and i laid it down by me
and out in the dark you said, “caroline, don’t you deny me
when we married in spring, how you promised to love and obey
and those vows that you made in the church you’ll be keeping today.”
i said to my lover, “you know that i’ve cried like a willow
and it’s many a night that i’ve wished you were here on my pillow
but i won’t let you in now it’s winter and you’ve come to call
since we married in spring and i buried you back in the fall!”
“don’t you miss me, caroline
and isn’t it cold by your side?
oh, don’t you love me, caroline?
now, don’t you run and hide
i’ll keep you with me, caroline
through sorrow, or through sin
and if you ever loved me, dear
why won’t you let me in?”
the night came in cold and you came in colder
you crawled into bed and you rested your head on my shoulder
i lay with you, lover, as long as i possibly could
then i lifted my rifle and i made sure you slept there for good
the year’s spun around since your visit and winter’s returning
november is coming and i’ve got the fire a*burning
and i buried you deeper in cold and in salt*covered ground
but i’m starting to think i can hear such a desolate sound
“don’t you miss me, caroline
and isn’t it cold by your side?
oh, don’t you love me, caroline?
no, don’t you run and hide
i’ll keep you with me, caroline
through sorrow, or through sin
and if you ever loved me, dear
why won’t you let me in?”
oh
