Letra da Música

(Clarke / Sylvester / 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 realise 

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 

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 

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 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 

chorus 

I'm down 
I'm down 
I'm down
