Falling In Carolina

With the leaves we fell in Carolina
As the wind sthe truth from the trees
With the leaves we fell in Carolina
And time stood still
As we watched them fall one by one
Home in Caroline, in Caroline.
In the spring we had to let you go?
Over the dogwood trees you’re finally free to fly.
We tried every avenue
Worn out with no one to blame
Your pain turned into poetry
Your arms outstretched beyond the flame
With the leaves we fell in Carolina
As the wind sthe truth from the trees
With the leaves we fell in Carolina
And time stood still
As we watched them fall one by one
Home in Caroline, in Caroline.
Home in Caroline.
You told us not to be afraid
With open hearts we feel your love
In orange, red and amber green
We connect, we’re tender and tough
In our dreams we had everything
You’re in our hearts; that’s not close enough
With the leaves we fell in Carolina
As the wind sthe truth from the trees
With the leaves we fell in Carolina
And time stood still
As we watched them fall one by one
Home in Caroline, in Caroline.
