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
