Laura Marling
Don’t Ask Me Why
[Verse]
I choose to stay far away from the ones
That think money is money to share
Don't ask me why
I'll tell you no lies

[Verse]
Sonny don't come here no more, he don't drink from this well
Oh, he's done with the world and done with the girl
And I don't ask him why
He tells me no lies

[Chorus]
Those of us who are lost and low
I know how you feel
I know it's not right, but it's real

[Verse]
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
I'll tell you no lies

[Verse]
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
[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

[Bridge]
I took the wind from the sea
I took the blood from an arrow
I took the wisdom of spring
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
And I knew my name
Oh, I knew my road
And I stayed away from heavy loads
And still I'm low
Oh Lord, am I low

[Chorus]
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
