Verse 2: (same chords as before)
Blue masquerade in the evening
Words from some purple crusade
Delivering the loaves and the fishes
To the sounds of a passing parade
I clearly see your desire
Pass me some more holy wine
Tell me, Caroline, how divine
How do you sleep there so simply?
With bells on your toes and the light on your lips
Who am I if I'm not the one
Who is feeling used, but now that its done
Who'll keep your sweet thing satisfied?
Chorus
Chorus again:
How divine
(How I wish I was free)
Caroline
Hope you're happy in your dreams.
