Carry Me Ohio (Alternative Version) Lyrics

I'm Sorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough
In these last daysHer tears
Fell on her pages found me well
On her words I don't know what
To do or sayWading through
Warm canals and pools clear blue
Where Tuscarawas flow into
The Great LakesRiding back
To where the highway met
Dead end tracks
The ground is now cement and glass
And far awayHeal her soul, carry her, my angel, OhioGreen green youth
What about the sweetness we knew
What about what's good what's true
From those daysCan't count to
All the lovers I've burned through

So why do I still burn for you
I can't saySorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last daysHeal her soul, carry her, my angel, OhioChildren bless
And gather round the bed she rests
So poor and cold in their Midwest
Moon and sunFlashes bringing on
My open eyes to lightning storm
The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm
On my faceGraving dreams
A million miles ago you seem
A star that I just don't see
AnymoreWords long gone
Lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices heard along the waySorry for
Never going by your door
Never feeling love like that
AnymoreHeal her soul, carry her, my angel, Ohio
