Neil Young – Alone and Forsaken lyrics

Verse 1
Born in the springtime when blossoms unfold
Pastures were green and the meadows were gold
My life was in flowers some grew on
And life like the leaves is now withered and gone

Verse 2
Roses have died and left us alone
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley has started to die
Out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry

Chorus
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold my hand
Please understand

Verse 3
Oh, where have you gone, where can you be
Have you forsaken some others like me
A promise to honour, to love and obey
Is each vow a plaything that you thrown away

Chorus
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold my hand
Please understand

Chorus
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold my hand
Please understand

Verse 4
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance beginning to bey
I wonder, I wonder - what you're thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love

Chorus
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold my hand
Please understand

Chorus
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold my hand
Please understand

Outro
Alone and forsaken
Alone and forsaken
Alone and forsaken
