Carry Me Ohio

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 flow into
The Great Lakes
Riding back
Where the highway met dead end tracks
The ground is now cement and glass
So far away
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
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 the lovers I've burned through
So why do I still burn for you?
I can't say
Sorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough
In these last days
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Children bless
Gather round the home she rests
So poor and cold in their 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 heard along the way
Sorry for
Never going by your door
Never feeling love like that
Anymore
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
