We met in the srpringtime,nwhen blossoms unfold.nThe pastures were green,nand the meadows were gold.nOur love was in flower,nas summer drew on.nHer love like the leaves now,nhas whithered and gone.nnThe roses have faded,nthere's frost at my door.nThe birds in the morningndon't sing anymore.nThe grass in the valleynis starting to die.nAnd out in the darknessnthe whipporwills cry.nn[Chorus]nAlone and foresakennby fate and by man.nOh Lord if you hear menplease hold to my handnOh please understand.nnOh where has she gone to?nOh where can she be?nShe may have foresakennsome other like me.nShe promised to honornto love and obey.nEach vow was a playthingnthat she threw away.nnThe darkness is fallingnthe sky has turned gray.nA hound in the distancenis starting to bay.nI wonder, I wondernwhat she's thinking of.nForesaken, forgottennwithout any love.nn[Repeat Chorus]nnn
