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 out

On her words I don't know what

To do or say

Wadin' through

Warm canals and pools, clear blue

The Tuscarawas flows into

The prairie land

Ridin' back

To where the highway met

Dead end tracks

The ground is now cement and glass

And far away

Heal her soul

Carry her, my angel

Ohio

Lingerin' in

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 blush

And gather round the home she rests

So poor and gold with their midwest

Moon and sun

Flashes bringin' on

My open eyes the lightning storm

The tortured mist felt soft, felt warm

On my face

Cravin' dreams

A million miles ago you see

And the 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
