Neko Case - Alone And Forsaken lyrics

We met in the springtime When blossoms unfold The pastures were green and Meadows were gold Our love was in flower as summer grew on A love like the leaves has withered and gone The roses have faded There's frost at my door The birds in the morning don't sing anymore The gra** in the valley has started to die Out in the darkness the whippets will cry Alone and forsaken Oh lord if you hear me then hold to my hand Oh please understand Where has she gone to, oh where can she be She may have forsaken some other like me She promised to honor, to love and obey Each vow was a plaything that she threw away The darkness is falling The sky has turned gray A hound in the distance is starting to bay I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of Forsaken, forgotten without any love Alone and forsaken By Fate and by man Oh lord if you hear me then hold to my hand Oh please understand Oh please understand
