Bill Mallonee - Carolina, Carolina lyrics

Time, ah, she's such an elusive girl She makes such bad eye contact Seems to move you by waves and circles Just to bring you back To that line of demarcation Where you straight paths got a little bent Right back to that place of new beginnings Just like where all the old ones went Chorus: Carolina, what am I to do? Did I fail to render all that was your due? Could heaven ever be more blue? No, I didn't think so... No, no, no, I didn't think so... And your eyes were never sharper Than when you got born again in spring And winter takes you by the hand just to make you a little older But that's not such a bad thing Repeat Chorus If you're caught out there on life's wasteland borders With all your immigrant deficits in tow You swim the river to a deeper truth And the searchlight shines through your ghost
