Delia s Gone lyrics

Delia s gone
And the days they run so slow
Here in the islands
Delia s gone

It s the only thing you know
Here in the silence
Fine rain combs the sand
The first breath of winter across the land
Try but you won t understand
How she could slip right through your hands
Delia s gone.

Delia s friends no longer come to call
What can they say now
Delia s pictures are hanging on the wall
You can t look away now
Dream figures with moons for eyes
Stare from under an alien sky
Seem to watch as you pass them by
If they should know, they won t say why
Delia s gone.

Delia s gone like a darkening of the sky
A change in the weather
Delia s gone like a moment out of time
Maybe forever
Lines of coffee cups on parade
Soldiers for keeping the night away
Soon, too soon, you ll be moving out
There s nothing here to hold you now
Delia s gone.

Delia left Tony
On a hot summer night
She would not go for him and so
He shot her down at sight
Delia gone, one more round, Delia gone!
