[00:15.46]Well, you met her there on a New York City stair
[00:19.76]You were throwing up on your shoes
[00:23.71]Tryin’ to write the great book well it really had you shook
[00:28.29]With a bad case of wintertime blues
[00:32.33]So you drag her down to the ragged side of town
[00:36.62]Shared a taxi to carry her home
[00:41.37]Then she left her handkerchief there beside you on the seat
[00:45.22]As if to emphasize that you were all alone
[00:49.53]Smelled like springtime when you were just a boy
[00:53.64]And all the lilacs in Ohio
[00:58.13]All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go
[01:02.69]In the city streets in the dirty winter snow
[01:06.69]All the lilacs in Ohio-hio
[01:11.19]Well, she is the love story you speak of
[01:15.56]When you talk to Sam at the bar
[01:19.66]But it’s in the details your story often fails
[01:24.23]Yeah, close, but no cigar
[01:28.34]You might see your own ass in a double whiskey glass
[01:32.94]But you cannot erase her smile
[01:37.42]And you’ll never write it down, never find her in this town
[01:41.57]Of phantom dreams and fingernail files
[01:45.98]It was springtime and you were just a boy
[01:50.10]And all the lilacs in Ohio
[01:54.64]All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go
[01:59.00]In city streets in the dirty winter snow
[02:03.37]All the lilacs in Ohio-hio
[02:08.53]
[02:24.86]So you pin her handkerchief to clean white linen sheets
[02:29.57]And you unmake your bed and crawl in
[02:34.07]You imagine her there and you’re tangled in her hair
[02:38.73]And she smells like flowers again
[02:43.30]And it’s springtime and you are just a boy
[02:47.73]And all the lilacs in Ohio
[02:52.00]All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go
[02:56.62]In the city streets and the dirty winter snow
[03:00.73]All the lilacs in Ohio-hio
