I´m Down

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

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 thru 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 hurtS 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

I m down

No one to see me falling

I m down

I m down

I m down
