NORTH OHIO
words & music by Grayson Hugh

I've returned to north Ohio
leaves are falling
and the sky is grey
I crossed that bridge
on the Maumee River
come to see my
grandmother's grave
high on a hill
the rain is gently falling
in the grass
by the stone
that bears her her name
life comes and goes
and flickers like a candle
still the spirit of love
forever stays the same

Tonight in my dreams
I go back to linger
in a life not long ago
that I once knew
to a girl I loved
and rooms I remember
just like a ghost who is lost
I'm wandering through
my heart is aching
with a thousand joys and sorrows
in my sleep
in my dreams
I call her name
life comes and goes
and flickers like a candle
still the spirit of love
forever stays the same

Tonight I felt
the summer ending
in the darkness, ever softly
she slipped on by
down in the field
at the four roads crossing
I watched the flashing
last blue stars of the fireflies
I stood there on the ground
where my ancestors lay sleeping
in this land
they lived and loved
now they dream in the rain
life comes and goes
and flickers like a candle
still the spirit of love
forever stays the same
oh Lord, yes it does
forever stays the same
oh yeah
