Don't Ask Me Why

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 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 unsavory places On the highest of mountains And the lowest of bases And I still don't know why I still don't know why Those of us wo 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 it an end Me and time, we go way back when I was a child and I always knew it I knew my name, I knew my road And I stayed away from heavy loads And still I am low Oh 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 --- Don't Ask Me Why - Laura Marling
