Alone and Forsaken Lyrics

We met in the springtime when the blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Her love like the leaves, now have withered and goneThe roses have faded, there's frost at my door
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the Whippoorwills cryAlone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Oh, please understandOh 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 awayAlone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Oh, please understandThe darkness has fallen, the sky has turned gray
The hound in the distance is starting to bay
I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten without any loveAlone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand

Oh, please understandAlone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Oh, please understandOh, please understand
Oh, please understand
