    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written by Johnna while Steve was in Tuva, Southern Siberia with Huun-Huur-Tu, studying Khoomei, or Tuvan Throat-Singing.

    You can hear 2 styles of Throat-Singing on this cut: Kargyraa (very low) and Sygyt (high, like flute and drone).

    Lyrics
    The humming of the freeway echoes in the street.
    And the banging in the train yard;
    I can feel it in my feet.
    And I hope you’re coming home soon

    In the dawning of my new day
    your twilight sun goes down.
    Here I am in the big city, you’re in that little town
    And I hope you’re coming home soon

    The trolley bus goes by; I’m part of the scenery.
    The city buzzes all around,
    I’m weaving through the maze.
    And I hope you’re coming home soon

    And you are so far; still we see the same stars
    And you are so far; still we see the same stars

    The temperature’s not falling ,
    I’m having trouble with the heat.
    The wind blows across Siberia
    and the people that you meet.
    And I hope your coming home soon,
    And I hope your coming home soon,
    And I hope your coming home soon,
    Come on home.
