Abandoned lyrics

Once my life was plain and clear

I recall

Once my ignorance was bliss

Nightfall came

Like a serpent’s kiss

To my troubled mind

Why, oh why my God

Have you abandoned me

In my sobriety?

Behind the old façade

I'm your bewildered child

So take me 'cross the river wide

Binding promises were made

On my soul

Grand illusions led astray

Ice cold winds swept my heart away

Bring me back to you

Why, oh why my God

Have you abandoned me

In my sobriety?

Behind the old façade

I'm your bewildered child

So take me 'cross the river wide.

I remember a song

Like in a dream

When September was long

Winter unreal.

Why oh why, my God above,

Have you abandoned me

In my sobriety?

Behind the old façade

I'm your bewildered child

So take me 'cross the river wide.
