Don’t Ask Me Why Songtext
von Laura Marling

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
Oh, he's done with the world and done with the girl
And 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

Been looking for answers in unsavory 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


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

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 it 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!

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
