Carolina, Carolina

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ah, time, 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 [Verse 2] To that line of demarcation Where you straight paths got a little bent Right back to that place of, of new beginnings Just like where your old ones went [Chorus] Hey, Carolina, what am I to do? Did I fail to render all that was your due? Could your skies ever be more blue? No, no, no, I didn't think so No, no, no, I didn't think so [Verse 3] Your eyes were never sharper Than when you got born again in spring And winter takes you by the hand to make you a little older But that's not such a bad thing [Chorus] Hey, Carolina, what am I to do? Did I fail to render all that was your due? Could your skies ever be more blue? No, no, no, I didn't think so No, no, no, I didn't think so [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Carolina, yeah, what am I to do? Did I fail to render all that was your due? Could your heavens ever be more blue? No, no, no, I didn't think so No, no, no, I didn't think so No, no, no, I didn't think so No, no, no [Guitar Solo]
