Carry Me Ohio - Mark Kozelek

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
