Unanswered Letter

Unanswered Letter - Cowboy Junkies (烟枪牛仔合唱团)

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

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

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
