Lyrics: 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 |
