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 
Tuscarawas flow into 
the great lake 

riding 
back where the highway met dead tracks 
ground and now cement and glass 
so far away 

heal her soul 
and carry her my angel 
ohio 

green green green
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 
and carry her my angel 
ohio 

children blessed 
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 

graving dreams 
a million miles ago you seem 
the star that i just don't see 
anymore 

words long gone 
lost on journeys we walked on 
lost her voice is heard along 
the way 

sorry for 
never going by your door 
never feeling love like that 
anymore 

heal her soul 
and carry her angel 
ohio
