Carry Me Ohio

(album: Ghosts Of The Great Highway - 2003)

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-end tracks
The ground is now cement and glass and far away

Heal her soul and 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 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 are voices heard along the way

Sorry for never going by your door
Never feeling love like that anymore

Heal her soul and carry her, my angel
Ohio
