about

Yeah, I know it sounds sinister, but I was actually thinking about all the night-time sounds that could wake a sleeping baby. Yet, it does sound a bit sinister. . .
The bit about the clothes-line was for the optional "mention of work" challenge.

lyrics

I
I hear a frail weeping
In the darkness there, somewhere beyond the pines

My true love,
She lay sleeping

Don’t you dare awake
My Caroline

(INST)

II
A red moth on the mirror
Drawn to the moon’s reflected shine

The hour
Drawing nearer

Don’t you dare awake
My Caroline
—
I can see Caroline
Hanging wash out on the line
So fine and fair, a twist of hair
Across her face


III
Sky quake in the distance
A burst of rain to cool the fevered mind

The Earth shake,
At its insistence

But don’t you dare awake
My Caroline
—
I concede Caroline
I am yours and you are mine
I do declare! Who could compare,
Or take your place?
