Lyrics Carolina - Cerys Matthews

Now you say that you're leaving
To see the world and swim the seven seas.
I won't cry, no, no, nor shed a tear,
Nor wish you were here.
The sun always shines on Carolina,
The sun always shines down on Tupelo.
I keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee
And my mind won't go running back,
Won't go running back to you.
And if I find you on a good day,
Skies are blue, no-one to bother you,
Steadfast and stern on the mountain side
With a river to run and a dog named Luciano.
The sun always shines on Carolina,
The sun always shines down on Tupelo.
I keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee
And my mind won't go running back,
Won't go running back to you.
The sun always shines on Carolina,
The sun always shines down on Tupelo.
I keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee
And my mind won't go running back,
Won't go running back.
The sun always shines on Carolina,
The sun always shines down on Tupelo.
I keep my eyes on the bird and the honey bee.
And if that's what you want, pack up your bags,
Don't write a note, walk to the door,
Turn 'round one last time, turn off the lights,
Take one step to left and another to the right
And walk away
And walk away
Walk away.
