Lyrics
Delia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Delia, Delia where have you been so long
Delia, Delia everything I had is gone
The trees have left the country side
Frost is on the ground
The birds all sing a different song
With a low and a lonesome sound
With a low and a lonesome sound
Delia, Delia where have you been so long
Delia, Delia everything I had is gone
If we could count the falling stars
As we have done before
Or share the sound of summer rain
I've never ask for more
No I've never ask for more
Who can tell where Delia's gone
Or why she went away
Or if she always knew
that she would break my heart one day
Would break my heart one day
Delia, Delia where have you been so long child
Delia, Delia everything I had is gone
