When you left me
You left me on the way back down
Far afield and casting far away back home
I was wounded
A cripple cast upon the streets
Pushed by currents coursing through my deepest dreams
And if I'm asking myself why
She would leave me here to die
Why love and hate cohabitate in a lovers lonely eye
Don't ask why, oh baby don't ask why oh no

When you loved me
Your love was like a winding road
Long and leading brightly to the mountains edge
I was spellbound
Seeking vainly for a sign
Silently suspended by the thinnest thread
And if I'm asking myself why
You would leave me here to die
Why love and hate cohabitate in a lovers lonely eye
Don't ask why, oh baby don't ask why oh oh oh

When you left me
I wandered down through dusty towns
Witness to the wars that raged within men's minds
I was thirsty
A refugee upon the road
Walking through the ruins of this kingdom come
And if I'm asking myself why
Would you leave me here to die
Why love and hate cohabitate in a lovers lonely eye
Don't ask why, oh baby don't ask why oh oh oh
