Lyrics Dave Matthews

Dave Matthews

Alone And Forsaken

Born in the springtime when blossoms unfold

The pastures were green and the meadows were gold

Our life was in flower as summer grew on

And life like the leaves now has withered and gone

The roses have died, there's alone

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 have you gone, where can you be

How you forsaken some others like me

You promised to honor, to love and obey

As each vow was a plaything that you threw away

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand

Please understand

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand

Please understand

The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray

A hound in the distance beginning 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 my hand

Please understand

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand

Please understand

Alone and forsaken

Alone and forsaken

Alone and forsaken
