Lover, don't ask for an oath, I won't swear 
For oaths cannot be kept 
A promise; if it's mine 
Your promise is in safe hands 
For without trust it cannot be kept, 
Ask the rain, ask the desert, ask the mountains, 
Just don't ask me 
Ask Him, ask Him, ask Him, ask Him oh... 
Lover, don't be hurt, 
Why are your eyes downcast, 
This punishment cannot be served, 
Understand why my hands freeze, 
Don't accuse, it's not befitting, 
Ask the rain, ask the desert, ask the mountains, 
Just don't ask me 
Ask Him, ask Him, ask Him, ask Him oh... 
Say my love, say it's passed, 
Say let it end if you want to. 
Don't ever say it's right, don't trust. 
If I've wronged you then don't forgive 
Don't say it's right, never forgive. 
But if you're wrong, don't take one's due, stop
