Carolina in the Pines

LYRICS

She came to me,
said she knew me,
said she'd known me a long time.
And she spoke of
being in love
with every mountain
she had climbed.
And she talked of
trails she'd walked up
far above the temberline.
From that night on
I knew I'd write songs
with Carolina in the pines.

There's a new moon
on the fourteenth;
first quarter,
the twenty-first.
And a full moon
in the last week
brings a fullness
to this earth.
There's no guesswork
in the clockwork
of the world's heart or mind.
There are nights
I only feel rifht
with Carolina in the pines.

When the frost shows
on the windows
and the woodstove
smokes and glows,
as the fire grows,
we can warm our souls
watchin' rainbows in the coals.
And we'll talk of
trails we walked up
far above the temberline.
There are nights I
only feel right
with Carolina in the pines.
There are nights I
only feel right
with Carolina in the pines.

If you have enjoyed listening to this music, please visit the Robin's Lockmith Services website. We had a Google Business Listing for many years. It went down on February 14, 2024. It looks like it will be impossible for me to recover the business listing. However, the Robin's Lockmith Services website is visible; sometimes above the business listing and sometimes right below it. Each time someone visits that website from anywhere in the world, search engines notice and it becomes more visible to people who are looking for a locksmith in Roswell, New Mexico. That helps us stay in business. Thank you.
