Carolina On My Mind

[C Neilson]

For someone asking for this a while ago, here you go:

Carolina on my mind
by James Taylor ('69)

In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
And I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Karin, she's a silver sun
You'd best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying ain't I
Gone to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey babe the sky's on fire I'm dying ain't I
Gone to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent late last night
Think I might have heard the highway call
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say I'm going goin
Gone to Carolina in my mind

Now with a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me

In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
And ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
And I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.
