Coraline

It was December

The snow was falling all around

Like frozen embers

Falling on the frozen ground

And I thought I’d never

Find my way out of this town

Then like a raven on the wing

You came to me without a thing

Just the faded dress you wore and a wedding ring

I can remember

The way your hair fell down your face

And I pretended

That I knew just the words to say

’Til you were mended

Strong enough to face the day

And you talked about the life

That you had to leave behind

And the name you gave to me was Coraline

CHORUS

Coraline, can you hear me

It’s gettin’ time

For you to come back here and ease my mind

We had a high time

Roaming wild and living free

And it was my kind

Of desert driftin’ fantasy

Countin’ road signs

And sleeping in that canyon breeze

But it was too good to be true

Your demons got the best of you

And you left me out there howlin’ at the moon
