Carolina - From The Motion Picture “Where The Crawdads Sing”

Oh, Carolina creeks running through my veins
Lost, I was born; lonesome, I came
Lonesome I'll always stay
Carolina knows why for years I roam
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Carolina knows

And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she's in my dreams

Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I make it count
And there are places I will never-ever go, oh-oh-oh
And things that only Carolina will ever know

Carolina stains on the dress she left
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
Carolina pines, won't you cover me?
Hide me like robes, down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave

And you didn't see me here
Oh, they never did see me
And she's in my dreams

Into the mist, into the clouds
Don't leave
I make a fist, I make it count
And there are places I will never-ever go, oh-oh-oh
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Oh, whoa, oh-oh-ooh
Oh, whoa, oh-oh-ooh
Oh, whoa, oh-oh-ooh
Oh, whoa, oh-oh-ooh

And you didn't see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn't see me here
They never saw me

Oh, Carolina knows why for years they've said
That I was guilty as sin, and sleep in a liar's bed
But the sleep comes fast, and I'll meet no ghosts
It's between me, the sand, and the sea, Carolina knows
