Lyrics I'm Down - The Hollies

I'm Down

Shook my head out of dreams
RealityЂ™s calling
The early birdЂ™s been up all morning
But IЂ™ve got no notion of moving from where I am
Though my legs wonЂ™t move
I feel disabled
IЂ™m on a shelf an article labeled
Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found
IЂ™m down no one to hear me calling
IЂ™m down no one to see me falling
IЂ™m down
Had my ways
With days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didnЂ™t realise
When youЂ™re used to one thing
ItЂ™s hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
Well she ainЂ™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
IЂ™m down
IЂ™m down
To the folks who brought me up
IЂ™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 someoneЂ™s out there
Looking for me
Left on their own
CouldnЂ™t afford to clothe me
And I i donЂ™t even know my real name
Chorus
IЂ™m down
IЂ™m down
IЂ™m down
