Paroles de Ohio
Out from my window across from the cityI have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway. three from the fountain
Where I walk to break in new shoes
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.»
Out from my window: «How far is Ohio?»
She laughed and pointed out East
She said: «I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen.
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired man
We moved to city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since
? It's been a long time. 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.» I wish she belonged to me
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.»
Out from my window: «How far is Ohio?»
She laughed and pointed out East
She said: «I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen.
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired man
We moved to city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since
? It's been a long time. 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.» I wish she belonged to me
