Ohio heartbreak, but the heart of it all
A place so great, but yet it remains so small
Thankfully close to how I remember it
So many memories flood in from where I now sit
Lake Erie, you are a part of my soul
I can barely see your edge but for the distant blinking lights
Your darkness merges with the night
When I’m here I feel whole
This bar plays Panama
Never did I think I’d have ever ventured there
I’ve traveled the world over and seen all of its wonders
That kid from Toledo had no idea
I’ve seen it all
Here now, with my family and all I that I love
It’s a dream that I have fulfilled and them some
I’ve felt loss and the memories flood me now and fill me with regrets,
But not to my detriment
I embrace the sorrow and the sentiment
The few lights on the horizon bring me peace
I find comfort in that, and the smallness around me right now
I remember the overwhelming feeling of so many lights in the Straights of Malacca—South Korea—Argentina—Panama—Gibraltar —
So may people overwhelms sometimes
The quiet and smallness right now comforts me and puts me at ease.
