Where do you go little bird
When it snows, when it snows
When the world turns to sleep
Do you know, do you know
Is there something in the wind
Breathes a chill in your heart and life in your wings
Does it whisper 'start again'
Start again
Where is the sun in the night
Is it cold, is it cold
Does it feel left behind
All alone, all alone
Does it wander through the dark
Does it wait for the dawn, wish on a star
Does it stray very far
Very far
Where is your home restless wind
Is it there, is it here
Do you search for a place to belong
Search in vain, search in fear
Or is your spirit everywhere
Is your voice every tree
Your soul of the air
If there's no home is there no death
Is there no death

Visit the Wizard of Oz transplant department and get a heart. It's a bit melancholy, it won't be blasting out my earphones, but it's nonetheless a beautiful song. |

I am not sure what that has to do with this song, but then I am not sure what the word Arlington has to do with this song either. I worked in Arlington VA. I am not sure what that has to do with this song, but then I am not sure why people are obsessing over its meaning vis-à-vis various American cities. Maybe we should all get stoned and obsess about LP covers for a few hours...  |
| mrtuba9 (most likely near Normal) | Posted: Jan 30, 2013 - 08:40 My last play was 15 minutes ago, and nearly every day since I heard it on November 1st, 2012. This song is close to religion for me...I grieve for the 26 from another city. |
| BazH | Posted: Jan 26, 2013 - 07:35 First time I have heard them, pretty impressed. |
| lshinkawa (Berkeley, CA) | Posted: Jan 25, 2013 - 15:06 Really like their music but their name is so annoying. |

| fiddler | Posted: Jan 22, 2013 - 14:14 RP turned me on to TWJ...and so many others. I just ordered the sheet music for this. In case you're wondering, I could only find it from the gals themselves: www.thewailinjennys.com/store/sheet-music. So very nice!!!..and plenty of parts for well under $10. |

| krysthal (43.70654 -79.39837 Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Jan 08, 2013 - 19:54 A very beautiful and sad song (as many others have commented). Had no idea that The Wailin' Jennys are Canadian. Great mix tonight Bill and Rebecca! It's always the same awesome tracks, but just loving it more for some strange reason. I think the more you listen to RP, the more you appreciate great music. |

| zepher | Posted: Oct 12, 2012 - 08:12 The Wailin' Jennys' harmony sound like the voice 15 generations of American women who helped make this country what it is today. (Funny for a group from Canada) - Beautiful timeless soulful sound.  |
| DD rabbi_phil (beach) | Posted: Oct 08, 2012 - 20:35 kinda got my appetite whetted for some waylon jennings....this would not be that....definitely |
