I said I am no evil man then I paused As if convinced of what that meant Well I brace myself and face my doubts Not surprised but unprepared For such an arduous descent And if I ever knew I loved you it was then
I said don’t you hide your eyes from me I will wreck your guesswork worries one by one When they’re buried in some deep dark sea You’ll be mine and so my mind had spun and spun But it was over by the time it had begun
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh
You said I will not chase these storms While our tongues gave all our wickedness away And I said ours will be no hollow home No, made of stone these walls alone won’t keep you safe And with each downpour we discover what it takes
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh
Well I said how can I carry on? All these waves don’t make a sailor out of me You’ll set out with the morning sun I’m alone and slow to gather up my leaves Up in arms, it’s just the god of thinning dreams
Carolina, Carolina Dare I say these words for you I don’t speak unless I mean to
Someone told me all your sails were raised So I stood upon the mooring of the bay Both eyes closed in hopes Your colors haven’t changed Both eyes closed in hopes Your colors haven’t changed
