Blitzen Trapper - Love and Hate lyrics

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 askin' myself why she
Would leave me here to die
Why love and hate
Cohabitate in a lover's 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 blindly to
The mountain's edge
I was spellbound, seeking vainly for a sign
Silently suspended by the thinnest thread
And if I'm askin' myself why you
Would leave me here to die
Why love and hate
Cohabitate in a lover's 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 lover's lonely eye
Don't ask why, oh, baby, don't
Ask why, oh, oh, oh
