about

Written a few months after Neil Armstrong died. I got an image of Neil standing on the moon, looking at the scenery, looking back at the Earth, and this song came out.

lyrics

In O[hio
The moon's a brilliant beacon in the ]sky.
Over hills, into [ valleys, it casts a silver glow.
A lantern laying light along the road
to guide the weary traveler to his home.

In Ohio
Stars are distant candles in the night.
Opalescent sparkles, mysteries of light,
Burning in the dome of summer sky
Crystalize the beauty of July.

In Ohio
Hills are rounded, worn by wind and snow.
Fences line the pastures; orchards stand in rows.
Cardinal sings a cheery tune.
Steeples in the distance mark a town.

A marble cloaked in clouds with streaks of blue and gray. I'm
Tracing out the sunrise line, to where my heart will stay
Two hundred fifty thousand miles away.

In Ohio
Air is warm with scent of field and hay
A soft breeze through the window as you wake to greet the day
Will carry taste of morning dew.
In Ohio there is you
