Grayson Hugh - North Ohio lyrics

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
