Least Of All Young Caroline

(album: Mittens - 2016)

Amber slipped away last night
Gin-soaked in the hospital
And with everything we went through with that last year
That is a serious kick in the balls
None of us need this
Least of all young Caroline
Child, I'd be lying if I told you I thought that everything would be fine

Caroline I know things are desperate
Things will get better in the end
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again

You know her parents built her up
But then they let her fall aside
Now she has her scars on her legs that she won't explain
From when she disappeared that night
Said she's not a little girl any more
Her hands, they don't need holding much
But the child that I've known since the day she was born is always going to need some human touch

Caroline I know things are desperate
Things will get better in the end
And every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
And every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again

It tears me apart
To remember your love
It tears me in half
To remember your love

Caroline I know things are desperate
Things will get better in the end
But every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
But every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
Every step you take forward is another step you never have to take again
Every step you take forward is another step you never have to take again
Every step you take forward is another step you never have to take again
