HOLLIES - I'm Down lyrics

rate me

(clarke / sylvester / hicks)<br>Shook my head out of dreams<br>Reality's calling<br>The early bird's been up all morning<br>But I've got no notion of moving from where I am<br><br>Though my legs won't move<br>I feel disabled<br>I'm on a shelf an article labeled<br>Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found<br><br>I'm down no one to hear me calling<br>I'm down no one to see me falling<br>I'm down<br><br>Had my ways<br>With days of sunshine<br>Life came easy it all fell in line<br>But then again I didn't realise<br><br>When you're used to one thing<br>It's hard to accept another<br>Like the woman who brought you up<br>Well she ain't your mother<br>How do you cope<br>With a thing like that<br><br>Chorus<br><br>I always thought it was my dad who went to war<br>Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall<br>My pseudo-brother billy emigrated long ago<br>Someone went through pain to have me<br>Someone I should know<br><br>I'm down<br>I'm down<br><br>To the folks who brought me up<br>I'm not ungrateful<br>Kept the secret from me<br>They thought it was shameful<br>It hurt me so<br>To be the last one to know<br><br>Maybe someone's out there<br>Looking for me<br>Left on their own<br>Couldn't afford to clothe me<br>And I i don't even know my real name<br><br>Chorus<br><br>I'm down<br>I'm down<br>I'm down
