For seven years, we made here
They stuck a cross out in the yard
The first I don't remember
The second year, I just couldn't carve
This land went forgotten
The dirt's much harder than my tries
To bury you, no, not when
So seldom here does Heaven cry
At times I feel a gentle breeze
It stirs softly in my soul
Maybe there's a life back east
Back in Ohio
This land went forgotten
The dirt's much harder than my tries
To bury you, no, not when
So seldom here does Heaven cry
You know I always tried to do what was best
But still I dream at night of the shape of your breast
There are so many things that your beauty blessed
But that was all a long time ago
Far, far too long ago
This land went forgotten
The dirt's much harder than my tries
To bury you, no, not when
So seldom here does Heaven cry
