Delilah

Sitting all alone
Staring out the window the wind blows
But shelll never know
The world outside of her grandmother's home

Pale and thin as a ghost
Winds up the metronome

Delilah, Delilah
Too young to die like a spider
Delilah, Delilah
Hung from piano wire
Delilah, Delilah
Too young to die like a spider
Delilah, Delilah
Hung from a piano wire

Practicing her scales
Dreaming about him though she can’t go
Wishing the ivories
Were the keys to her jail to no avail

But when everything fails
She kicks over the pail

Delilah, Delilah
Too young to die like a spider
Delilah, Delilah
Hung from a piano wire
