Lyrics
Delia, Delia, Where have you been so long?
Delia, Delia, Ev’rything I had is gone,
The trees have left the countryside,
The frost is on the ground,
The birds all sing a diff’rent song
With a low and a lonesome sound,
With a low and lonesome sound.

Delia, Delia, Where have you been so long?
Delia, Delia, Ev’rything I had is gone.
If we could count the falling stars
As we had done before
Or share the sound of summer rain
I’d never ask for more,
I’d 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.
