lyrics

O Cuyahoga, Ohio
Need a little favor
Need a ride to buffalo

Ophelia told me
About the looking glass
Ophelia told me

Lost and out of favor
With the working class
And I need a little favor

Sunset won't go
Into buildings of snow
Lost and out of focus
Cuyahoga I'm going home

O Cuyahoga, home of the warm
Heart of the swamp
Everlasting love

Dock take with it
Stepping on a leaf
A duck, unaware of a man

Ophelia save me
From this ghost I need
Lingering in back of me

Sunrise won't know
All the places I go
Finding reciprocity
In the shade of a bone

Going home
Cuyahoga, not my home

Over a monument, built in a wind
Over in a landslide
Where it slides right in

Buffalo's winter
Melts all about
Water off dreaming of a lake

Shade me in the bone-light
Of a winter spring
In the dust unaccosted near the falls

Sunlight don't go
It's your face that feels warm
Only on the road
Where the tree's leaf alone

Sun might ignore
Every word that I score
Only on the road
Where the phased leave alone

Going home
Cuyahoga, not my home
