Lyrics
Delilah Craig Sinclair (2006), released independently in 2007 You’re walking barefoot through the cornfields in your lily dress The first warm day of spring, like the last cold sunset I can’t keep up I’m looking west takes both hands to shade my eyes You’re up ahead and I’m back here singing Delilah why why why? You’re picking flowers in the lilies and the reeds down by the waterline I’ve got your sweet dreams in my head, honey I’m feeling fine You shoot a half glance from both barrels, you walk a saucy little two step line I can stand in your way, but I’ll never stop you here Delilah why why why? All the skinny armed schoolboys they monkey grip the tree trunks in the sky They pluck the sweet fruit they can reach, they hope to reach you with their sighs Well they’re falling from the tree tops, with a birdsong hope to fly If they ever pick themselves up they’ll always be singing Delilah why why why?
