about

Recorded live at Northsix in Brooklyn, NY some time in 2005.

lyrics

In from the oceans they came, a vision, a shirt, and a name
But these lands, they are wild, and these hands, they are tame

Don’t forget your own, a wilderness wish that gets buried in snow
Call it home, it’s lumber and stone, trapped, stranded and free

This is not like home, this is not like home
When you feel alone in a world that’s not your own

Not at all, not at all
Not at all, not at all
Not at all, not at all

Awake at the break of the day
It’s work and it brings in the pay
There’s a lonely dirt road leading back through the trees
There’s a wagon that takes them away

Don’t forget your own, the wilderness wish that gets buried in snow
Call it home, it’s lumber and stone, trapped, stranded and free

This is not like home, this is not like home
This is not like home, this is not like home
