Now I never knew her but her story it touched my heart

It was in the New York Post that I heard her story told

She was a rising star of her day so the story goes

But her dream got crushed in the darkness one Sunday morn

Now she met her death of the rooftop of 929

An apartment building on the Upper West Side

Witnesses heard Caroline, 23 cry out

Oh I'm dying I'm bleeding now somebody help me please

Caroline

She'd just come home from the theatre late one night

When a killer got her in the lift with that look in his eye

Now this little girl was a fighter and it cost her her life

'Cause he pulled out a knife and stabbed her seven or eight times

Caroline

Now this killing could have happened in any major city

Now somehow there has got to be a cure for this disease

Or you might be walking home alone late one night

And find yourself on the end of that killing knife

Oh Caroline

There's a prowler on the street

There's a prowler on the street

Caroline Isenberg was brought to her knees

By a prowler on the street

Caroline

(repeat to fade
