Carolina, Carolina

[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]
