Up in arms (if just a guard are thinning dreams?) Carolina Carolina Dare I say these words for you I don't speak unless I mean to Someone told me all your sails were raised So I stood upon the mooring of the bay Both eyes closed in hopes your colors haven't changed Both eyes closed in hopes your colors haven't changed
