Carry Me Ohio (Sun Kil Moon)

Sun Kil Moon - Carry Me Ohio
Written by Mark Kozelek

Well I have to thank you guys for introducing me to Sun Kil Moon, Red House Painters, and thus Mark Kozelek. His music is absolutely spectacular!
His aim is to make music that is very personal, and at the same time universal. There's so much emotion in these lyrics and Kozelek’s voice that his music really touches our heart.
This song has got to be the best song I've recently came across, and it was hard work to rehearse it. I hope we did it justice!

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
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, 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
Grey, 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

Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
