가사
[Instrumental Intro]
Verse 1:
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floating,
Old North Carolina is calling my name. (calling my name)
The night is young, and the moon is high,
I hear the water singing as the stars fill the sky. (sing to me)
Chorus:
I'd like some sweet company,
Oh, Carolina, won't you come with me?
And I wanna hear some mountain music, (that mountain music)
That simple song that makes you feel just right.
Verse 2:
The river’s wide and the currents are whispering,
My raft keeps spinning through the black water. (black water)
Keep on rolling, just past midnight,
Oh, the southern sky and the fireflies guiding light.
Verse 3:
As the current gently pulls beneath the crescent moon,
Whispers of the pines hum softly, an old earthy tune.
Every paddle stroke stirs tales of yore,
Of hidden paths and legends along this shore. (this shore)
Verse 4:
Mist rises off the water as dawn begins to break,
Each moment on this river is a chance I gladly take.
The chorus of the morning, a symphony so sweet,
Carried on the breeze where sky and water meet.
Verse 5:
The bends and turns reveal secrets held deep,
An endless journey, these memories I keep.
Caught in the flow of the timeless dance,
With every mile gained, I steal a glance.
An endless journey, these memories I keep.
Caught in the flow of the timeless dance,
With every mile gained, I steal a glance.
Bridge:
And if it rains, well I don't care,
I'm drifting down, no worries to spare. (no worries)
Just the sounds of the night, to keep me company,
Along these dark waters, it’s where I find peace.
Outro:
So take me by the hand, take me by the mind,
Carolina dreaming, just letting the time slide. (let it slide)
Just one more night, just one more day,
Let the music play, let the water say.
