Austin and Elliott: Listening Library

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Sad is the future Caroline, your body still confined
Controlled by father until you're a wife
And a slave for the rest of your life
A man wants you to be his bride for power and for pride
So you dress in sailor's blue to search for someone true

Caroline, cross the line, to the ocean blue

If the crew discovers you, they'll tie you down with chains
And throw you in the ocean to kick and scream in vain
And if the captain fights for you
And saves you from the sea
He'll give you dresses of blue and say
"Now you're breath belongs to me"

Caroline, cross the line, to the ocean blue

So listen Caroline and people all around:
If you wear the blue it's up to you
to save yourself or drown
