I`m Down — текст песни (Hollies)

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
Shook my head out of dreams
Reality`s calling
The early bird`s been up all morning
but I`ve got no notion of moving from where I am

Though my legs won`t move
I feel disabled
I`m on a shelf an article labeled
waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found

I`m down No one to hear me calling
I`m down No one to see me falling
I`m down

Had my ways
with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn`t realise

When you`re used to one thing
it`s hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
well she ain`t your mother
How do you cope
with a thing like that

chorus

I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
someone I should know

I`m down
I`m down

To the folks who brought me up
I`m not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
they thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
to be the last one to know

Maybe someone`s out there
looking for me
Left on their own
couldn`t afford to clothe me
And I I don`t even know my real name

chorus

I`m down
I`m down
I`m down
