Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I'll always stay
Free as these birds, light as whispers
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me here
Into the mist, into the clouds
I make a fist, I'll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
Hide me like robes down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
And you didn't see me here
No, they never did see me
Into the mist, into the clouds
I'll make a fist, I'll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
And you didn't see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn't see me here
Why for years they've said
And sleep in a liar's bed
It's between me, the sand, and the sea
