"This is what I can believe" Is what I said to my friend "And I can recall "I must have been pretty gone When I went through these towns Like a cannonball "And I've already grown up here Here I might as well grow down It's all shaky, built in fury, But I think this wind's going to settle down "Carolina, why are we going with this around? It's all silvery, dear, it's the light of little nowhere towns "But the treasure we had was so big And we sunk through the earth And believe how slow "Sun wasn't out for all week And the weekend just said There's just none to show "And I barely can remember Little feet on solid ground The drinking part is useless When you're buried away from sounds "Carolina, where are you ending up this time? Say it's silvery, dear, like the light of little nowhere towns "But now honestly I'm broken down By this emptiness I feel First you moan, and then you yell it And now we don't answer across the street "And I'm racing through my pockets now Because I'm starting to believe That selling emptiness to strangers Is a little bit warmer than my dreams "This is what I should believe" Is what I said to my friend "And I can recall I must have been pretty cold When I went through this house Like a cannonball And I barely can remember Asking you through all this time It's all shaky, built in fury Like this wind is going to settle down "Carolina, where are we going to be found? You're all silvery, dear, you're the light of little nowhere towns"
