[Verse 1]
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
The Tuscarawas flowed into the Great Lakes
Riding back where the highway met dead tracks
The ground is now cement and glass, so far away

[Chorus]
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio

[Verse 2]
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 burnt 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

[Chorus]
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
