I choose to stay far away
|
From the ones that think
|
Money is money to share
|
Don't ask me why
|
And I'll tell you no lies
|
|
Sonny don't come here no more
|
He don't drink from this well
|
O he's done with the world
|
And done with the girl
|
And I don't ask him why
|
And he tells me no lies
|
|
Those of us who are lost and low
|
I know how you feel
|
I know it's not right but it's real
|
But it's real.
|
|
I don't ask for love
|
And I don't beg for money
|
I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness
|
Now honey don't ask me why
|
And I'll tell you no lies.
|
|
Been looking for answers
|
In unsavoury places
|
On the highest of mountains
|
And on the lowest of bases
|
And I still don't know why
|
I still don't know why.
|
|
Those of us who are lost and low
|
We know how you feel
|
We know it's not right but it's real
|
But it's real.
|
|
I took the wind from the sea
|
I took the blood from an arrow
|
I took the wisdom of spring
|
And I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned until
|
Time found its hand and called an end
|
Me and time we go way back when
|
I was a child
|
And I always knew why.
|
|
I knew my name
|
I knew my road
|
And I stayed away from heavy loads
|
I'm still, I'm low
|
O lord am I low
|
|
Those of us who are lost and low
|
We know how you feel
|
We know it's not right but it's real
|
But it's real.
