******[verse 1] |
|
oh, carolina creeks running through my veins |
|
lost i was born, lonesome i came |
|
lonesome ill always stay |
|
carolina knows why, for years, i roam |
|
free as these birds, light as whispers |
|
carolina knows |
|
|
|
[pre-chorus] |
|
and you didnt see me here |
|
no, they never did see me here |
|
and shes in my dreams |
|
[chorus] |
|
into the mist, into the clouds |
|
dont leave |
|
i make a fist, ill make it count |
|
and there are places i will never, ever go |
|
and things that only carolina will ever know |
|
|
|
[verse 2] |
|
carolina stains on the dress she left |
|
indelible scars, pivotal marks |
|
blue as the life she fled |
|
carolina pines, wont you cover me? |
|
hide me like robes down the back road |
|
muddy these webs we weave |
|
|
|
[pre-chorus] |
|
and you didnt see me here |
|
oh, they never did see me |
|
and shes in my dreams |
|
|
|
[chorus] |
|
into the mist, into the clouds |
|
dont leave |
|
i make a fist, ill make it count |
|
and there are places i will never, ever go |
|
and things that only carolina will ever know |
|
[refrain] |
|
and you didnt see me here |
|
they never did see me here |
|
no, you didnt see me here |
|
they never saw me |
|
|
|
[verse 3] |
|
oh, carolina knows why for years theyve said |
|
that i was guilty as sin and sleep in a liars bed |
|
but the sleep comes fast and ill meet no ghosts |
|
its between me, the sand, and the sea |
|
carolina knows |
