Tekst Utworu

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 the cloud just cast a
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 has been gone so long when he left the snow was deep on the ground
And I have seen spring and summer pass
And now the leaves are turning brown
At any time a tiny face will show itself as waiting is 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 if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My mama said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be alright 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 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
My body aches the time is near 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
From Dover
From Dover
