Lyrics

We met in the springtime When the blossoms unfold The pastures green & the meadow gold Our love was in flower As the summer grew on Her love like the leaves Have all withered & gone Roses have faded & there's frost at my door The bird of the morning Won't sing anymore The grass in the valley Has started to die & out in the darkness The whippoorwill cry Alone & forsaken By fate & by man Oh, 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 & 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 & forsaken By fate & by man Oh, Lord if you hear me Take hold my hand Alone & forsaken By fate & by man Oh, Lord if you hear me Take hold my hand Alone & forsaken By fate & by man Oh, Lord if you hear me Take hold my hand Please understand
