Tony Scarpitti - Ohio Lyrics

I never would have let you lead
If I'd known you'd scare so easily
I'm sure I must have fit you once
But you've been pulling at the seams of me

When did we get too old
To fit new pictures in the frame?
And by the time we smoke the last bowl
Will you be choking on my name?
Or aren't you breathing?

What does the Ohio River
Teach us about the sea?
You can swim to shore
Or just float along
And let the Mississippi
Bring you back to me

You said you don't got what I need
But what I need's not what I'm looking for
Circle up the empty chairs
But don't expect me 'til the coffee's cold

Guns and arrows shoot straight
But what I'm swinging's bound to miss
When the choir sang the last psalm
Could you still taste the wine on my lips?
Or weren't you listening?

What does the Ohio River
Say about you and me?
We can swim to shore
Or just float along
And let those Gulf Coast waters
Set our bodies free
