Oh, Carolina creeks running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I'll always stay
Carolina knows why, for years, I roam
Oh, Carolina creeks running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I'll always stay
Carolina knows why, for years, I roam
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Carolina knows
[Pre-Chorus]
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she's in my dreams
[Chorus]
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I'll 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, won't you cover me?
Hide me like robes down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
[Pre-Chorus]
And you didn't see me here
Oh, they never did see me
And she's in my dreams
[Chorus]
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I'll make it count
And there are places I will never, ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
[Refrain]
And you didn't see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn't see me here
They never saw me
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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
Oh, Carolina Creeks prolazi kroz moje vene
Izgubio sam se rodio, usamljen sam došao
Usamljen uvijek ću ostati
Carolina zna zašto godinama lutam
Besplatno kao ove ptice, lagano kao šapat
Karolina zna
[Predhorus]
I nisi me vidio ovdje
Ne, nikad me nisu vidjeli ovdje
I ona je u mojim snovima
[Zbor]
U maglu, u oblake
Ne odlazi
Napravim šaku, napravit ću to
A postoje mjesta koja nikad neću, nikad
I stvari koje će samo Carolina ikad znati
[Stih 2]
Carolina mrlje na haljini koju je ostavila
Neizbrisivi ožiljci, ključni tragovi
Plava kao život na kojem je pobjegla
Carolina Pines, nećeš li me pokriti?
Sakrij me poput haljina niz stražnju cestu
Blato ove mreže koje tkamo
[Predhorus]
I nisi me vidio ovdje
Oh, nikad me nisu vidjeli
I ona je u mojim snovima
[Zbor]
U maglu, u oblake
Ne odlazi
Napravim šaku, napravit ću to
A postoje mjesta koja nikad neću, nikad
I stvari koje će samo Carolina ikad znati
[Refren]
I nisi me vidio ovdje
Nikad me nisu vidjeli ovdje
Ne, nisi me vidio ovdje
Nikad me nisu vidjeli
[Stih 3]
Oh, Carolina zna zašto su godinama rekli
Da sam bio kriv kao grijeh i spavam u lažovom krevetu
Ali san dolazi brzo i ne ću upoznati duhove
To je između mene, pijeska i mora
Karolina zna
