We met in the springtime
When blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and

Meadows were gold

Our love was in flower as summer grew on

A love like the leaves 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 has started to die

Out in the darkness the whippets will cry

Alone and forsaken

Oh lord if you hear me then hold to my hand
Oh please understand


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 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 then hold to my hand

Oh please understand
Oh please understand
