Hey All. I haven't blogged in forever. Sorry! This city keeps me busy. Just wanted to share the words to a song I wrote about a woman I have gotten to know. I have had the privilege of getting to know many people in the past year, many of which live on the streets. Enjoy!

Caroline Waits

Dressed in blue velvet, eyes to the sun
Caroline waits for her prince to come
Yesterday is gone, but maybe today
She'll find the right potion to take her away

Lips of scarlet, hair of gold
Goes to church on Sundays and does as she's told
Don't think for a minute she's yours to hold
Caroline waits Caroline waits

Chorus
How long, how long must she wait?
How long, how long must she wait?

Her locket holds the ashes of her prodigal son
He left this world empty with the turn of a gun
A broken heart, shattered
Her mind on the run
Caroline waits Caroline waits
(Chorus)

Off in the distance, her carriage awaits
Streets of gold and pearly gates
But from down here, she's controlled by fate
Caroline waits Caroline waits

Ashes to ashes, a stick in the sand
The streets her family, her home the land
That blue velvet dress is all that's left in her hands
Caroline waits Caroline waits
(Chorus)
