Testo Down from Dover - Nancy Sinatra
Testo della canzone Down from Dover (Nancy Sinatra), tratta dall'album Start Walkin' 1965-1976
I know this dress I'm wearin' doesn't
Hide the secret I've tried concealin'
When he left he promised me that he'd
Be back by the time it was revealin'
The sun behind the clouds has cast a
Crawlin' shadow o'er the fields of clover
And time is runnin' out for me, I wish
That he would hurry down from Dover
And I've been gone so long, when I
Left the snow was deep upon the ground
She has seen the spring and summer come
And now the leaves are turnin' brown
At any time a tiny face will show itself, the waiting's almost over
But she won't have a name to give it, if I don't hurry down from Dover
My folks weren't understandin' when they
Found out they sent me from the home place
My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My momma said I was a fool, she did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be alright, for
Soon he would be comin' down from Dover
She loved me more than anything, she
Could not refuse me when I needed her
She was the only one I loved and she
Did not believe that I was usin' her
He couldn't leave me here like this
Oh no it can't be so, it can't be over
I wouldn't make her go through this alone
Oh I'll be comin' down from Dover
My body aches, the time is here, it's
Lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
Our baby has been born but something's wrong
It's much too still, I hear no cryin'
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd
Never have a father's arms to hold her
And dyin' was her way of tellin' me he wasn't comin' down from Dover
