Carolina

Song: Carolina 

Artist: Taylor Swift, From Where The Crawdads Sing

I read the book Where The Crawdad's Sing earlier this year and then watched the film. Let me tell you, the ending of this book/movie was extrrreeeemley unsettling to me, so to have this eerie, haunting, ghost-like song immediately follow during the end credits, it gave me the shivers and I promptly went and added it to my Halloween Playlist to be ready for this time of the year! 😰I didn't know I'd be posting so much Taylor Swift content this month but it fits in beautifully! 

O Carolina creeks

Running through my veins

Lost I was born

Lonesome I came

Lonesome I'll always stay

Carolina knows

Why for years I roam

Free as these birds

Light as whispers

Carolina knows

And you didn't see me here

No, they never did see me here

And she's in my dreams

Into the mist, into the clouds

Don't leave

I make a fist, I make it count

And there are places I will never ever go

And things that only Carolina will ever know

Carolina stains

On the dress she left

Indelible scars

Pivotal marks

Blue as the life she fled

Carolina pines

Won't you cover me?

Hide me like robes

Down the back road

Muddy these webs we weave

And you didn't see me here

No, they never did see me

And she's in my dreams

Into the mist, into the clouds

Don't leave

I make a fist, I make it count

And there are places I will never ever go

And things that only Carolina will ever know

And you didn't see me here

They never did see me here

No, you didn't see me here

They never saw me

O Carolina knows

Why for years they've said

That I was guilty as sin

And sleep in a liar's bed

But the sleep comes fast

And I'll meet no ghosts

It's between me

The sand and the sea

Carolina knows
