Alone And Forsaken

We met in the springtime when 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 gone
 The 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 cry
 Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
 Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
 Oh, please understand
 Oh, 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 bey
 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, please hold to my hand
 Oh, please understand
