Alone And Forsaken Lyrics - 16 Horsepower

We met in the springtime 

When the blossoms unfold 

The pastures green 

And the meadow gold 

Our love was in flower 

As the summer grew on 

Her love like the leaves 

Have all withered and gone 

Roses have faded 

And there's frost at my door 

The bird of the morning 

Won't sing anymore 

The grass in the valley 

Has started to die 

And out in the darkness 

The whippoorwill cry 

Alone and forsaken 

By fate and by man 

O lord if you hear me 

Take hold my hand 

Where has she gone to 

Where can she be 

She may have forsaken 

Some other like me 

She promised to honor 

To love and obey 

Each vow a plaything 

She threw away 

The darkness has fallen 

The sky turns gray 

The hound in the distance 

Has started to bay 

I wonder I wonder 

What she's thinking of 

Forsaken forgotten 

Without any love 

Alone and forsaken 

By fate and by man 

O lord can you hear me 

Take hold my hand 

Alone and forsaken 

By fate and by man 

O lord can you hear me 

Take hold my hand 

Alone and forsaken 

By fate and by man 

O lord can you hear me 

Take hold my hand 

Please understand
