Robert Wyatt O Caroline Lyrics

David's on the piano
and I may play on a drum
And we try to make the music
We'll try try to Have some fun
But I just can't help thinking that if you were
Here with me
I'd get all my thoughts in focus and play
More excitingly

I love you still Caroline
I want you still Caroline
I need you still Caroline

If you call this sentimental crap you'll make me mad
Because you know that I would not sing about
Some passing fad
And if my attempts of rhyming aren't convincing
To your ear Then memory's betrayed you through the passing
Of the year

I love you still Caroline
I want you still Caroline
I need you still Caroline

You must think it doubtful but I mean the words
I sing
Or that all attempts to reach you this way could
Not mean a thing
But you must admit we both thought we'd be
Man and wife
And that I could make you happy for the best part
Of your life

I love you still Caroline
I want you still Caroline
I need you still Caroline
