[Verse 1]
Carolina
Her tears are falling like the Spanish moss
Disappearing
Into beauty found in beauty lost

[Chorus]
So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solace in remembering
The words we never said

[Verse 2]
Faded postcards
Of all the places she loves best
Take her far away
As she presses wrinkles from her cotton dress

[Chorus]
So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solace in remembering
The words we never said
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And so it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight crashing to the earth
And there can be no solace in remembering
The way things never were

[Instrumental Outro]
