I cannot go to Charleston
Baby can't you see
Cause if I go to Charleston
Our love will never be
Cause inland what I love the most
Is you, but down there on the coast
I'm blinded by my true love for the sea
I cannot go to Charleston
This I know for sure
Cause if I go to Charleston
Our love will not endure
You're the apple of my eye
But once I see that coastal sky
There won't be a reason to stay anymore
I cannot go to Charleston
With you be my side
Cause if we go to Charleson
Love won't be my guide
Cause baby in a tidal zone
I'll be swept away and windblown
My love for you might ebb out with the tide
I'm going down to Charleston
My heart's already there
So when I get to Charleston
You just can't compare
Cause good times end and beauty fades
In the waves down by the shore
But the ocean will be there evermore
Yes the ocean will be there evermore
