| 歌曲 | Unanswered Letter |
| 歌手 | Cowboy Junkies |
| 专辑 | The Wilderness |
| 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. |
