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 some news has 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 my hand Please understand Oh where has she gone to oh where can she be? She may have forsaken some other like me She promised to honour to love and obey Each vow was a play thing that she threw away The darkness is falling the sky has turned grey A hound in the distance is starting to bay 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 my hand Please understand Oh please understand
