Carolina come quick, it’s a mystery to me The embers still red in the forge It’s been lit for a week, and the snow came in hard The beast flew the northern sea Carolina my back has been aching for weeks I have carried your love through it all My sins start to flood from my mouth, I'm a curse Your secret’s too much for me Carolina, do you love me You’re the black in my blood the infectious disease Can you cure me, if so leave me be I’ve been wasting my time waiting for your defeat Carolina your heart runs the depth of a cave Carved from the mountain side The waves they have worked since the first morning rise The Sun and the Moon alike Carolina, do you love me You’re the black in my blood the infectious disease Can you cure me, if so leave me be I’ve been wasting my time waiting for your defeat And I hate to see you crying but darling we need to leave The beast is here, the birds are fleeing from the trees Now the clouds are casting shadows over me Carolina, my love, could you answer please Carolina come quick, it’s a mystery to me The embers still red in the forge It’s been lit for a week, and the snow came in hard The beast flew the northern sea Carolina, do you love me You’re the black in my blood the infectious disease Can you cure me, if so leave me be I’ve been wasting my time waiting for your defeat Can you cure me? If so, leave me be Can you cure me? If so, leave me be
