Delia's Gone

Delias gone
And the days they run so slow
Here in the islands
Delias gone
Its 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 wont understand
How she could slip right through your hands
Delias gone.
Delias friends no longer come to call
What can they say now
Delias pictures are hanging on the wall
You cant 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 wont say why
Delias gone.
Delias gone like a darkening of the sky
A change in the weather
Delias gone like a moment out of time
Maybe forever
Lines of coffee cups on parade
Soldiers for keeping the night away
Soon, too soon, youll be moving out
Theres nothing here to hold you now
Delias 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!
