Lyrics
[Verse 1]
O Carolina creeks
Running through my veins
Lost I was born
Lonesome I came
Lonesome I'll always stay
[Verse 2]
Carolina knows
Why for years I roam
Free as these birds
Light as whispers
Carolina knows
[Verse 3]
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
[Verse 4]
And she's in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
[Verse 5]
Carolina stains
On the dress she left
Indelible scars
Pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
[Verse 6]
Carolina pines
Won't you cover me?
Hide me like robes
Down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
[Verse 7]
And you didn't see me here
They never saw me
[Verse 8]
O Carolina knows
Why for years they've said
That I was guilty as sin
And sleep in a liar's bed
But the sleep comes fast
And I'll meet no ghosts
It's between me
The sand and the sea
Carolina knows
