about

Lost Country was written in Inisheer during a co-writing retreat. The song came to life after a conversation with Anne Burns who wanted to know more about the story of my family who was expelled from Czech Republic after WWII. She listened, made notes and when I stopped talking she showed me her notes and said: Here is the song!

lyrics

Lost Country
(Burns/Nentwich 2014)

There´s so much grief
Inside of me
Oh take me back
To my lost country

One day I'll walk in the green fields
My father's eyes have seen
Beloved mountains
Where the rivers sing

Oh, take me back
To my lost country
There is so much love
Inside of me

Boys in too short black suits
Hiding skinned knees
Shy girls in white dresses
It could have been me

Oh, take me back
To my lost country
There is so much love
Inside of me

Everything I know, everything I love
The stars are watching from above
If I have the courage to look back
If I have the courage not to forget

Oh, take me back
To my lost country
There is so much love
Inside of me
