Moon Trio

Caroline

Thibodeux

I'm wearin' white hose

My knees ain't on display

I wears a white dress

They like their maids that way

Don't want 'em dressed for play

(Once you was quick) I put all that away

(And once you was bright) That's all I got to say

(Now it seem you come to some confusion) You wait forever

(You losin' courage) For the day

(You're losin' light) 'Fore that damn bus come

(Lost your old shine) My kids should be in bed

(Lost Caroline) I'm waiting here instead

Moon change, moon change

Glowing bright

Light up the night

Make your dress of sparkling white (Moon gon' change and change again 'fore)

Turn to purple (that damn bus)

Turn to gleam (take me home)

Cool and dry (Everyone's changing)

Free and high (their tune) (I gotta get home)

Miles free from the basement steam (like the frogs, and the world)

(And the moon) (It been a rough day)

Change come fast (and the sky goes from cloudy) (I put all that away)

Change come slow (to clear)

But change come (times changes, Caroline) (nothing ever)

Caroline Thibodeaux (even here) (changes underground in Louisiana)
