The Dirty Nil
Caroline
[Verse 1]
First I thought I was
Doomed to darkness, lost
But your fiery night
Gave starved eyes light

But Caroline, I've done wrong
How I feel stained
My skin screams shame
Just as wilts all flowers
Time makes sweet things sour

[Chorus]
But I know that
Lovers are lions, untamed
I know that
Lovers and lions live caged

[Verse 2]
My song is far from
Cleansing redemption
But your fiery night
Burned all in sight

[Chorus]
But I know that
Lovers are lions, untamed
I know that
Lovers and lions live caged
[Outro]
Caroline, I've done wrong
