Lyrics

I’m at the water’s edge
And I’m gearing closer
This is where I will be
Where you can find me
My shadows kissing secrets
My heart’s in agony

I never meant to make you cry
Love come back to me
Troubled boy I’ll kiss you one
Last time and then say goodnight forever
Little girl, I’m not feeling well
These nights are long enough
Without you

Who sends letters through the mail
Stop it keep calling my name
I’m fine left a lone
Change the lies you took the pictures of the wall
Stringing along like a beautiful love song
Carolina, carolina, carolina, carolina
Now that I have you may I use you as a muse
And keep you up all night with trading stories of whispering love
All I want, all I need
All I want, is to be oohh
Dodododododododododododododododo

Oh I’m sending letters through the mail
Accepting cherries at the table
Change the locks
Took the pictures of the wall
Stringing along like a beautiful love song
