Down From Dover - Marianne Faithfull
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 o'er the fields of clover
And the time is running out for me
I wish that he would hurry down from Dover
He's been gone so long when
He left the show 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 'cause waiting's almost over
But I won't have a name to give it
If he doesn't hurry down from Dover
My folks weren't understanding
When they found out they sent me from the home place
My daddy said folks found out
He'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My mamma said I was a fool
She did not believe me when I told her
That everything would be all right 'cause soon
He would be coming down from Dover
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 I can't be so it can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this so long
Oh he'll be coming down from Dover
My body aches the time is here
It's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
Out 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 dying was her way of telling me
He wasn't coming down from Dover
