Words and Music by Matthew Black and David LaMotte

lyrics

Carolyn

Anything that I can bring you?
You've got a smile that I could sing to
I just haven't done it yet
Counting hours on the Sabbath
It can be hard to break the habit
Sometimes you've just got to take a rest

Carolyn, there are stars above you
There are arms to love you
You know every name by heart
Carolyn, there are stories calling
When the skies are falling
Every step is where we start

Take a walk along the border
From the books of love and order
Or maybe leave them on the shelf
See the sunlight when it wakes you
Find the joy where it will take you
Some days you've been there yourself

And the questions swirl around you
While you lie awake at night
You don't have to know the answers
It's alright

Carolyn, there are stars above you
There are arms to love you
You know every name by heart
Carolyn, there are stories calling
When the skies are falling
Every step is where we start
