lyrics
I know your mother tongue
And I'll sing along with my broken lungs
And your boats sailed but they came back
You stepped foot on the shore
Left the same bootprints that you did before
And you ran to see your newborn child
But this is Roanoke, this is Roanoke, this is Roanoke.
To scream "Where have they gone"
With world weary eyes redder than the sick sad dawn
Won't do a thing to bring them back
So move your mind on soon
Pay no heed to blue eyed indians running barefoor neath a harvest moon
Cause they aren't yours anymore
Because this is Roanoke, this is Roanoke, this is Roanoke
And I step foot through my door
See the ashtray and bottles from the night before
But it's bare as the cold Virginia shore.
