[Verse]
Her heart torn open
And left like an unanswered letter
Words were not spoken
Just left in a spidery scrawl

[Verse]
Twisted and gutted
The last of the smoke in the air
She gets up to leave
And idly fixes her hair

[Chorus]
Words from home
Words from home
What we miss are words from home

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
Words from home
Words from home
What we need are words from home
[Verse]
Her heart torn open
And left like an unanswered letter
Words were not spoken
Just left in a spidery scrawl

[Verse]
Twisted and gutted
The last of the smoke in the air
She gets up to leave
And idly fixes her hair

[Chorus]
Words from home
Words from home
What we miss are words from home

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
Words from home
Words from home
What we miss are words from home
