lirik lagu gabe lee – delilah (live)
[spoken to audience]
i’ll play a song on the keys, how about that?
alright, y’all
a while back, i wrote a song with a buddy
and this is what came out
sometimes when you go into a room
and you’re writing songs with friends
it’s funny
you tell folks that you’ve just turned 31
and you feel old
and they’re like “oh, shut up. you don’t even know…”
but you think about it
and the way my parents, my grandparents…
my grandparents were married when they were 18, 19
there’s something about the passing of time
that changes the way maturity lands for groups of people
and sometimes you sit down in a room with a friend
and this particular gentlеman was much younger than me
he was 21, 22
but that’s whеn the old soul comes out
that’s when you attack a song and music with this feeling and understanding of life that you may not actually have experienced but you can imagine
and that’s kinda where the song came about
this one’s called “delilah”
[verse 1]
when i first met you
i didn’t know a d~mn thing
i just set out to find my way
i didn’t have no money
no, just a set of wheels
and good lord, just a whole lot of time to k!ll
[pre~chorus]
i’ll be rollin’
on a southern wind
cold and weathered by the storm
please leave the light on
to help me get back home, honey
well before the dawn
[chorus]
oh my, delilah
don’t you miss me when i go
soon i’ll be ridin’
trying to find my way back home
[verse 2]
when i first left you
it was only meant to be a few days
now it’s been fifteen years since i’ve been gone
i never saw it coming
good lord, it nearly struck me blind
i guess i was wrong
for ever leaving you behind
[pre~chorus]
i’ll be rollin’
on a southern wind
cold and weathered by the storm
please leave the light on
and help me get back home, honey
well before the dawn
[chorus]
oh my, delilah
don’t you miss me when i go
soon i’ll be ridin’
trying to find my way back home
[outro]
soon i’ll be ridin’
trying to find my way a’back home
