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 dont know what

to do or say



wading through

warm canals and pools clear blue

the Tuscarawas flows into

the prairie land



riding back

to where the highway met

dead end tracks

the ground is now cement and glass

and far away



heal her soul, carry her, my angel, ohio



lingering in

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 cannot say



sorry that

i could never love you back

i could never care enough in these last days



heal her soul, carry her, my angel, ohio



children blush

and gather round the home she rests

so poor and gold with their midwest

moon and sun



flashes bringing on

my open eyes the lightning storm

the tortured mist felt soft, felt warm

on my face



craving dreams

a million miles ago you see

and the star that i just dont 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, carry her, my angel, ohio
