Letra de Down From Dover

[Verso 1]
I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret
I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back
By the time it was revealing
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow
Over the fields of clover
And time is running out for me I wish that he would
Hurry down from Dover

[Verso 2]
He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground
And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now
The leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself because
Waiting's almost over
But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't
Hurry down from Dover

[Verso 3]
My folks weren't understanding 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 mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it
When I told her
That everything would be all right because soon he would be Coming down from Dover

[Verso 4]
I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him When he needed me
He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he Was using me
He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so
It can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this alone
Oh he'll be coming down from Dover

[Verso 5]
My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place
Where I'm lying
Our baby has been born but something's wrong
It's much too still I hear no crying
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have
A father's arms to hold her
And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't
Coming down from Dover
