Taylor James - Carolina In My Mind lyrics

Carolina in my mind

(words and music by James Taylor)

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina.

Can't you see the sunshine.

Can't you just feel the moon shinin'

Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind.

Yes I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

Karen, she's a silver sun.

You best walk her way and watch it shinin'.

Watch her watch the morning come.

A silver tear appearing now, I'm crying - ain't I?

I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind

that love's the finest thing around.

Whisper something soft and kind.

Hey, babe, the sky's on fire, I'm dying - ain't I?

I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

In my mind I'm gone to Carolina.

Can't you see the sunshine.

Can't you just feel the moon shining

Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind.

Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway call

Geese in flight and dogs that bite.

And signs that might be omens say I'm goin', goin'...

I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

With a holy host of others standing around me,

still I'm on the dark side of the moon.

And it seems like it goes on like this forever.

you must forgive me.

If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind.

In my mind I'm gone to Carolina.

Can't you see the sunshine

Can't just you feel the moon shinin'

Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind.

Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

Gone to Carolina in my mind.

Gone to Carolina in my mind.

Gone to Carolina in my mind.
