about

words and music by Jonathan Rundman

lyrics

i have never set my feet upon that rocky shoreline
i have never seen the sundown at the cold blue sea
i have never heard the wind in blood-red birch leaves falling
yet my heart is longing for my home unknown

in my dreams i follow the steps of my Mother’s Mother’s Mother
there by the lakeside bellflowers grow beneath the wooden spire
i call out the name of my Father’s Father’s Father
can they hear me calling to my home unknown?

years ago we spoke your words and joined you in your singing generations later now we’ve nothing left to say
too much time has passed away and all the words have vanished
can I ever come back to my home unknown?
