I'm Down (Live) - The Hollies

作曲：Allan Clarke/Terry Sylvester/Tony 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 realize

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

I'm down no one to hear me calling

I'm down no one to see me falling

I'm down

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 someones 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

I'm down no one to see me falling

I'm down

I'm down

I'm down
