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
 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
 so 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 care enough
 in these last days
 heal her soul
 carry her my angel
 ohio
 children blessed
 gather round the home she will rest
 so poor and cold in their midwest
 moon and sun
 flashes bringing on
 my open eyes to lightning storms
 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
 carry her my angel
 ohio
