Carry Me , Ohio - Sun Kil Moon video free download
From the cd 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
And 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

This is what a song should be. It is EVERYTHING a song should be and nothing extra, no embellishment, no superficial styling, or glitter, just a study in how we deal with hurt. It reminds me in its tone and substance (not its style) of Townes Van Zandt's "Waitin' around to Die" or "Lungs" in that it is an unflinchingly blunt journey through the hopeless depths of the human condition. Mistakes are made, loves lost, life wasted, we turn our heads away and pretend there is something else, or we look down the barrel of the gun and find the beauty that lives inside the pain and want. Van Zandt did the latter, and so does Kozelek, at least in this moment.8 years ago

I don't know how I got here from national politics... but so moved to read how many people are experiencing so many and varied positive, thoughtful, emotional, and spiritual reactions to this music. What I think of it isn't the point (but sure, it's sweet).. Finally reading "positive stuff" from this North American continent is positive and pleasing for me! Go, listeners! Go, Sun Kil Moon! Bye, guys - - -9 years ago

Fell in Love with this song the minute I heard it in the movie "Shopgirl." The song is perfectly placed in the film when Mirabelle comes to New York City for the black tie dinner after being in Vermont with her parents. Mirabelle had decided she could not go to the dinner after Steve Martin's character confessed to sleeping with another woman in a letter. The song is used in their "make - up" scenes after the cheating episode. So perfect because Mirabelle the young and innocent, Martin the gray -haired experienced man-about-town. The tone of the song brings the unspoken emotions of each character to the viewer without reservation.9 years ago

I used to play this as a cover on my guitar n front of my mexican friends, from MX. They all murmer'd the words in broken english. This song reminds me of an old best friend Ricardo. As I move again away and to something distant from him, I wish him to be carried on back to his home. Viva Mexico, pinche Ricardo9 years ago

First time I heard this played live it brought tears to my eyes, I was sitting in the front and Mark noticed, the way he looked when he sang "Heal her soul etc" I will never forget the look in his eyes.....9 years ago

I grew up in Ohio, but moved away when I was 12. The memories are... special and this song brings them flooding back. Love this song. Miss the tall trees, soft rain, green grass and best friends.9 years ago
