Place In Time

I still recall, that fatefull fall
when I fled the change of the trees
and I said goodbye to the girl that I loved
to float through this world like a leaf

but heavy sometimes my heart is hung
on a worn out old melody
and I sing aboutplace where I was
and the love I thought I had to leave

Won’t you take me back to Carolina?
won’t you take me back my Caroline?
the smell of your breath in the breeze
brings all these memories of you back to mind
till I swear that I taste and see
that place in time
If I could sing my way back home
I’d be in western carolina
back before I’d ever sung
that auld lang syne

this still mirage inside my heart
will surely not get replaced
these memories of a peaceful home
young love and it’s embrace
If I recall, my fatal flaw
what brought this fall from grace
was thinking I would change my heart
if I only changed my place

Won’t you take me back to Carolina?
won’t you take me back my Caroline?
Leave me to die by the stream
back where my mother gave birth to me
and maybe I’ll make me believe
I can roll back the time

If I could sing my way back home
I’d be in western carolina
back before I’d ever sung
that auld lang syne
