Ohio Songtext
von Damien Jurado

It′s been a long time
A real long time
Mmm-mmm-mmm
A real long time

Out from my window, please, hear me, Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you, to hug you, to kiss you
To never leave her alone

She stands on the sidewalk, just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in passing
I ask where she's headed
She tells me, "Ohio, I′ve not seen my mother in ages"

It's been a long time
A real long time
Mmm-mmm-mmm
A real long time


It's been a long time
A real long time
It′s been a long time
A real long time
Mmm-mmm-mmm
A real long time

Out from my window, please, hear me, Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you, to hug you, to kiss you
To never leave her alone

And I′ve gotten to know her, to live with, to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me

It′s been a long time
A real long time
Mmm-mmm-mmm
A real long time

It's been a long time
A real long time
It′s been a long time
A real long time
Mmm-mmm-mmm
A real long time


Mmm-mmm-mmm
A real long time
