the shining (feat. Debo Balogun) Lyrics

Swing low, sweet Caroline,

let sunshine fall on her shoulder.

Slow down, she’s got some time,

what if her kid barely knows her?

Midnight blankets the stars above her

calling her name but she sits there by the fire,

through the dust is an old unopened letter

she forgot about

because I still haven’t packed that sweater for her…

Swing low, sweet Caroline,

I’m opening up my mind

so my eyes can brighten up and see the hopscotch

there on the sidewalk next to all the frisbees in the trees.

Caroline, we don’t need that to be happy.

If I whip the puzzle out, can we enjoy this February?

We don’t need much… and we’ve got this ukulele.

My cheeks are rosy now (because) I’m singing along.

Singing along.

Caroline,

stop.

Because when I look around,

life is passing by our shit.

And the times we dance around, life is good.

And When we laugh around, life is good.

Swing low, sweet Caroline, let sunshine fall on her shoulder.

Slow down, sweet Caroline.

though life throws trash around, at your core you’re still…
