carolina - ellen o'meara lyrics
foothills appalachia
have swallowed up my mind again
the wind speaks in foreign tongue
and only i can understand
her whisper when she beckons me
to sell my soul to her poplar trees
when i die i’ll be in carolina
i used to slave the city streets
but who’s name was i makin’
it drove me into misery
a state i hadn’t chosen
so i gave two weeks and i hung my tie
once a suit, now i’m naked
i will die in peace in carolina
i had a box where i kept my pain
so it wouldn’t weigh upon me
i lugged it around all my days
and i burned the golden screw key
so i set off for the outer banks
and watched by little box drift away
i have found my peace in carolina
disease got the best of me
but i don’t need your prayers
my dear, it’s not a tragedy
’cause i am free as ever
a p-ssing life can be so sweet
when my true north takes me out east
i will die in peace in carolina
the sting of death is dulcified
when i am with my loved ones
the dogs down here know my eyes
they are my true companions
they taught me to set fear aside
and howl hallelu to the mountain night
i will die in peace in carolina
they taught me to set fear aside
and howl hallelu to the mountain night
i will die in peace in carolina
