  • 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 Writer/s: LAURA BEATRICE MARLING
