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
