Arnold Hill - Carolina Sky Lyrics

The breeze is blowing
The pines sing out their song
And I know that before long
I'll be leaven
There's no way of knowing
Just how long I'll be
But the call is sure to bring me home

To a place
Where the grass is always greener
I'll find a way
To come back soon
So if I'm gone when the sun sets into night I'll see it rise again
In a Carolina sky

My heart belongs there
Not rambling on this road
Gotta thousand miles to go
To get nowhere
I know it isn't fair
That I put it all before
My home that rests in your sweet land

There's a place
Where the grass is always greener
I'll find a way
To come back soon
So if I'm gone when the sun sets into night I'll see it rise again
In a Carolina sky

You've nurtured me and helped me be
The man that surely cannot see
The roots of his desire
From the highest mountain to the sea
Please keep a steady hand on me
And bring me back, Oh Carolina

In my last days
When I take my final breath
And I'm finally laid to rest
Don't you cry
I'll still remain
Even if my body's gone
My soul will carry on with you

In a place
Where the grass is always greener
I'll find a way
To come back soon
So if I'm gone when the sun sets into night I'll see it rise again
In a Carolina sky
