Carolene - Gates & Goodell - original rehearsal rough

Carolene, from our 2007 CD "Can Life Be So Simple" is our third "original rehearsal rough" video. John & Bill get together for 5-6 hours most weeks to snack, practice originals, maybe WRITE originals, and maybe learn a cover or two. Often we decide to shoot a quick "rough" video for posterity! Look for the studio version of this one in the "music videos" section here, or on pretty much all streaming platforms!
John Gates - Martin Vintage D-28, guitar and lead vocals
Bill Goodell - Collings MT, mandolin and harmony vocals
Written by John Gates
Arranged by Gates & Goodell
Last night I thought I heard you call my name...
just a mockingbird, crying in the rain.
"I couldn't be lonely", said my egocentric fickle, foolish pride...
In my dreams I wake up to you,
we lay in bed, into the afternoon.
You no longer live here. You haven't come around in quite some time...
Carolene, I see you swimming, across the river in my mind.
Carolene, I'm on the shore waiting. I try to reach but you just swim on by...
Carolene... Carolene...
The fruit hangs rotten on the vine, is it too late for us to mend the line?
I'm going to call you, the hell with my fickle, foolish pride
Carolene, I see you swimming, across the river in my mind.
Carolene, I'm on the shore waiting. I try to reach but you just swim on by...
Carolene, oh dance on the water.... Carolene, please come back to me...
Carolene... Carolene...
Carolene, I see you swimming, across the river in my mind.
Carolene, I'm on the shore waiting. I try to reach but you just swim on by..
Carolene... Carolene...
