carolina sky

lyrics and music by Nathan Davis

Say you're having trouble sleeping;
Guess you need some color in your dreams.
I found you on a bar stool crying,
Looking like the liquor crowned you queen.
Even through your smeared mascara,
You're still a masterpiece to me;
I never told you how I felt that night,
I'm just the type to leave it be.

And now I'm looking into darkness;
And everything around me makes no sense.
I feel like hating everyone but you;
You've always come to my defense.
And people see a part of me
That never needs to have anyone around;
And up until the day I found you,
I found peace in shadows, sweat and sound.

So forget about your troubles, and forget about the lies:
The only thing that matters now
Is you and me and this Carolina sky.

Trouble comes in threes, they say;
Let 'em come, I'm not afraid to stand.
As long as I've got you beside me, pride inside
And a guitar in my hand.
Cause I've got something burning in me,
Something this old world can't take away;
And I'll be playing long after I'm gone,
Well, I'll be singing from my grave.

So forget about your troubles, and forget about the lies:
The only thing that matters now
Is you and me and this Carolina sky.

Say the only thing that matters now is you and me and this Carolina...
