Kris Delmhorst - My Ohio lyrics

It was kind of like I'd known you before The windy day we met by the shore And we didn't really have to talk at all You had just put your lover into the ground And I was just a little storm spinning round And we walked along that old seawall, My Ohio You were born among the fields and the cranes Grew up knowing all of the names Of the flowers by your grandma's barn Kissing cousins and an eye for the boys Willows waved and made a beautiful noise When you shook your wings and flew right to the dawn My Ohio, green and blue Green like the rollingest hills of home Blue like the ocean you made your own Green like the brilliantest bird that flew Blue like the blue that swallowed you I wish I could show you my little girl She opens up so wide to the world And I know that you'd see eye to eye And I guess you called her down from the sky The windy day that we said goodbye And she fluttered like a songbird to your hand My Ohio, green and blue
