Cowboy Junkies - Unanswered Letter lyrics

Her heart torn open And left like an unanswered letter. Words were not spoken Just left in a spidery scrawl. Twisted and gutted, The last of the smoke in the air. She gets up to leave And idly fixes her hair. Words from home, words from home. What we miss are words from home. I lost my heart I left it alongside the river. That blackbird clucking Songs he knows nothing about. That bird returning To a home that makes him sing out. Words from home, words from home. What we need are words from home.
