Don't Ask Me Why (Live from York Minster)

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
