Cerys Matthews - Carolina lyrics

rate me

now you say that you're leaving

to see the world and swim the seven seas

i won't cry, no, no

nor shed a tear, nor wish you were here

the sun always shines on carolina

the sun always shines down on tupelo

i keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee

and my mind won't go running back

won't go running back to you

and if i find you on a good day

skies are blue, no-one to bother you

steadfast and starward on the mountain side

with a river to run

and a dog named lutiano

so say that you're leaving

to see the world and swim the seven seas

i won't cry, no, no

nor shed a tear, nor wish you were here

'cos the sun always shines on carolina

the sun always shines down on tupelo

i keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee

and my mind won't go running back

won't go running back

the sun always shines on carolina

the sun always shines down on tupelo

i keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee

and if thats what you want

pack up your bags

don't write a note

walk to the door

turn round one last time

turn off the lights

take one step to left

and another to the right

and walk away

and walk away

walk away

walk away.
