Sun Kil Moon
Carry Me Ohio
Ghosts of the Great Highway

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
About her words I don’t know what
To do or say

Wading through
Warm canals and pools, clear blue
The Tuscarawas flows into
The Great Lake

Riding back
To where the highway met
Dead-end tracks
The ground is now cement and glass
Too far away

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

Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel
Ohio

Children blessed
Gather round the home, she rests
So poor and cold
With their Midwest
Moon and sun

Flashes bringin’ 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
