I saw
the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw
the flickering shadows of love on her blind
she was my
woman
as she
betrayed me I watched - and went out of my mind
my - my -
my - delilah
why - why -
why - delilah
I could
see that girl was no good for me
but I was
lost like a slave that no one could free
at break
of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I
crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
she stood
there laughing
I felt
the knife in my hand - and she laughed no more
my - my -
my - delilah
why - why -
why - delilah
like before
they came to break down the door
forgive me - delilah - I just couldn't take any more
she stood
there laughing
I felt
the knife in my hand - and she laughed no more
my - my -
my - delilah
why - why -
why - delilah
like before
they came to break down the door
forgive me - delilah - I just couldn't take any more
forgive me - delilah - I just couldn't take any more
