Carolina Moon

we first met some years ago

in some smallest country town

and you were pretty as the sunset in vermont

i remember that first kiss

and what your eyes were saying to me

they were hungry for the love that i could give

now surround

telling bad jokes about the things we used to do

i'm as lonely as a carolina moon

and i'm guessing so are you

had to go our separate ways

just a feeling that we had

like the keys who know to leave when fall is near

you were so afraid of love and so afraid of being hurt

that we couldn't get to see the things we'd see

nights around

telling bad jokes about the things we used to do

i'm as lonely as a carolina moon

and i'm guessing so are you

well and lightning lit the sky

over the highway which i drove

got me thinking about all the storms we had

guess you craved a change of scene or maybe it was me

but we could have made it happened had we tried

and i sit round

telling bad jokes about the things we used to do

i'm as lonely as a carolina moon

and i'm guessing so are you

we laid out one summer night

while the stars were hanging low

and we counted everyone that we could see

you felt restless all that night

cause you were falling hard for me

and you've been in love and couldn't share control

and i sit around telling bad jokes

about the things we used to do

i'm as lonely as a carolina moon

and i'm guessing so are you
