Verse 1
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 lie
Verse 2
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 lie
Chorus
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
Verse 3
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 lie
Repeat chorus
Bridge 1
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
Verse 4
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 why
Bridge 2
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
Repeat chorus
