Don't Ask Me Why

03.Don''t Ask Me
.
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.
.
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
I don''t ask him why
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
.
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
.
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 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 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 why
.
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
I know how you feel
I know it''s not right but it''s real
But it''s real
