Carry Me Ohio Lyrics

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

Wadin' through warm canals and pools clear blue

The Tuscarawas flowed into the Great Lakes

Ridin' back where the highway met dead tracks

The ground is now cement and glass, so far away

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Heal her soul

Carry her, my angel, Ohio

Children blessed, gather round the home she rests

So pull and go over there Midwest, moon and sun

Flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightnin' 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 goin' by your door

Never feelin' love like that anymore

[Chorus]

Heal her soul

Carry her, my angel, Ohio
