Carry Me Ohio (Alternative Version)

[Verse 1] Sorry that I could never love you back I could never care enough in these last days Her tears fell on her pages Found me well on her words I don't know what to do or say Wading through warm canals and pools clear blue The Tuscarawas flowed into the Great Lakes Riding back where the highway met dead tracks The ground is now cement and glass, so far away [Chorus] Heal her soul Carry her, my angel, Ohio [Verse 2] Green, green youth: what about the sweetness we knew? What about what's good, what's true from those days? Can't count to all thе lovers I've burnt through So why do I still burn for you? I can't say Sorry that I could nevеr love you back I could never care enough in these last days [Chorus] Heal her soul Carry her, my angel, Ohio [Verse 3] Children blessed, gather 'round the home she rests So pull and go over there Midwest, moon and sun Flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightning storm The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm on my face Gray, vague dreams, a million miles ago, you seem A star that I just don't see anymore Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on Lost are voices are heard along the way Sorry for never going by your door Never feeling love like that anymore [Chorus] Heal her soul Carry her, my angel, Ohio
