Discover the story of the song > The Sunken Lands – Rosanne Cash

The song talks about a woman in a secluded area where there are no friends to comfort her. She has a cruel partner who hurts her with harsh words. The woman works hard, but it takes a heavy toll on her. She eventually leaves the place on a river, but there's a feeling of emptiness left behind. The chorus asks who will be there to comfort her in such a difficult situation.
