We met in the springtime
When the blossoms unfold
The pastures were green
And the meadows were gold

Our love was in flower
As the summer grew on
Her love like the leaves
Has all withered and gone

Roses have died
And there's frost at my door
The bird of the morning
Wont sing anymore

The grass in the valley
Has started to die
And out in the darkness
The whippoorwills cry

Alone and forsaken
By fate and by man
O lord if you hear me
Please take my hand
Please understand.

Where has she gone to
Where can she be
She may have forsaken
Some others 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 if i wonder
What she's thinking of
Forsaken and 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
