I`m Down — текст песни (The Hollies)

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 labelled
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

Had my ways with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn`t realize
When you`re used to one thing it`s hard to accept
Another like the woman who brought you up
She ain`t your mother
How do you cope with a thing like that

I`m down no one to hear me calling
. . .

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 thru` pain to have me
Someone should know I`m down

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

I`m down no one to hear me calling
. . .
