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!
