Kristina Murray - Carolina Sea (The Sweet Ever After) lyrics

The sweet ever after, it's gonna hold you forever Laid you down in the water out on the Botany Bay It was done with a low country sun and the mud up to my knee When I let you go on a Carolina sea [Chorus:] I'll have to walk my days carrying the weight With my weary arms shaking on the other side of the gate Every shadow has its light, every night its dawn So I sat down and wrote you one more song I had a dream of you standing in the door I was asking where you been and what you left us for You smiled and said "I'm leaving, please don't cry for me I'll meet you out on a Carolina sea." [Chorus] I know you don't want me to keep a broken heart too long So I thought I'd sing you one more song
