Take me, there was one time when I knew a girl
She told me she was single and she liked to twirl
I talked her into walking and i knew right away
That her story was true
And the night dissipated away, away
Before I even knew she awoke and was gone
But she left me this note that i've been scribbling on
To try to place a name or a face
I believe there happens to be one picture I didn't delete
I know that I took many but late in the night
We tried to erase any evidence of our crime
It was late
I think I left my camera in my jacket downstairs
So we will l have a quick look and I'll check if it's there
I'm pretty sure I put it where I wouldn't forget
For I was pretty unsure of even where we were at
Somewhere off the 6 train, or the A or the C
Somewhere near the garden 'cause you wouldn't believe
The looks I got from walking with her in the night
I admit it felt good, I would have given a fight for her
It was late
Words don't do her justice, so let's take this outside
and see if I have a picture of my sweet Caroline
So let me look here first for I don't know if its right
To let you see her, let you see her in this light
I can't be too sure that you would keep your eyes closed
So I will take a step back where I will cover it up
So let me turn it on, the battery it is low
I'll have to scroll fast-forward and I can't take it slow
The pictures are all gone there nothing left to see
I thank you for the cigarette, I'll take it with me
