lyrics

You crossed your borders, seized up my heart,
Towed me to current, set me a fire,
Cast me adrift, yeah, you left me alone,
Watched as I fell into the unknown,
And I believe it's called the Caroline Affair.

Thought you could come back crawling on knees,
Beg me for forgiveness saying "Oh, please."
Well you better run now and pray you don't fall,
Cause I've got my dukes out and ready to brawl,
And only one of us is leaving alive.

The wild winds were blowing, the waves came crashing in.
The wild winds were blowing, carrying a jealous sin.

As the storm came down that shielded revenge,
He never saw her coming in thunder and rain,
The steel of her knife would steal his life,
She did not pause showed no mercy at all,
The last thing he saw was the rage in Caroline's eyes.

Yes I am guilty of all that you say,
But I'm not the whole who shoulders the blame,
It's the one who is lying six feet down,
He'll have his trial with the God abound,
All because he started the Caroline Affair.

The wild winds were blowing, the waves came crashing in.
The wild winds were blowing, carrying a jealous sin.

Now every time you hear the howling wind,
Every time your bones ache from the storm rolling in,
You know that she's out there seeking to find,
The lover she killed on that one faithful night,
And that's the story of the Caroline Affair.
