CALL ME CAROLINA Livingston Taylor © L.Taylor/ Morgan Creek Music, 2008 (ASCAP) - All Rights Reserved Just this side of Richmond Is where we draw the line It's where we find the courage To take it one more time We had dreams of glory now those dreams are gone I'm listening for your whisper in the dark before the dawn For you to Chorus: Call me Carolina Rock me with a melody find me where I roam Miss me Carolina The evening summer breeze The rustling of the trees Tell me please I'm not alone Carolina call me home In the first gray of the morning The Yankees found their way And that blue wave came a'crashing And the roar was judgment day They seemed so like me as they settled to the ground And in the middle of that hell I listened for your sound For you to Call me Carolina Rock me with a melody find me where I roam Miss me Carolina Water through my hands The fog across the sands Can I stand this heart I own Carolina call me home There was a freckled headed kid And we wound up eye to eye And his rifle would not fire So he set himself to die And I saw the slightest tear for what my steel would bring But I would not be that merchant for I was listening For you to Call me Carolina Rock me with a melody Find me where I roam Miss me Carolina The quite evening sky The meadow firefly Where the best of me has shone Carolina call me home Return to lyric index
