Unanswered Letter Lyrics - Wilderness - Cowboy Junkies

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.
