Skeeter Davis Lyrics
Down from Dover

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 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 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 cause waiting's almost over But I
won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry
down from Dover My parents didn't understanding
when they found out they sent me From the home

place My daddy said if folks found out he would be
ashamed to ever show his face My mother said I was
a fool and she did not believe me when I told her
But 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 man
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 so long he'll be coming
down from Dover 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 daddy's arms to hold
her And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't
coming down from Dover
