I'm Down - The Hollies

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
