With the leaves we fell in Carolina As the wind sthe truth from the trees With the leaves we fell in Carolina And time stood still As we watched them fall one by one Home in Caroline, in Caroline. In the spring we had to let you go? Over the dogwood trees you're finally free to fly. We tried every avenue Worn out with no one to blame Your pain turned into poetry Your arms outstretched beyond the flame With the leaves we fell in Carolina As the wind sthe truth from the trees With the leaves we fell in Carolina And time stood still As we watched them fall one by one Home in Caroline, in Caroline. Home in Caroline. You told us not to be afraid With open hearts we feel your love In orange, red and amber green We connect, we're tender and tough In our dreams we had everything You're in our hearts; that's not close enough With the leaves we fell in Carolina As the wind sthe truth from the trees With the leaves we fell in Carolina And time stood still As we watched them fall one by one Home in Caroline, in Caroline.
