LYRICS:

Caroline is rolling over,
dreaming through her afternoon
I try to wake her, shake her shoulder,
she's laying low until early June

Out of the world's way you stayed
some will say lost, some will say delayed
barely distinguish the night from the day
when you're waylaid

February storms and shivers,
the morning brightens black to gray
She feels the southern oscillation
from 7,000 miles away

Lumbering up from three hundred below
the warm current finds the Peruvian coast
When you will return again nobody knows
You were waylaid

Darkened and still dilated,
your eyes open up and adjust
God knows how long you've waited
to see beyond the cumolonimbus
that's come between us.

Out of the world's way you stayed
some will say lost, some will say delayed
we're losing an hour, gaining the daylight
Waylaid
