Lyrics

Delphine

The clock upon the wall
Is surely ticking too slow
But the time you said you?d call
Crawled by an hour ago
You still believe that that you?re trying
You paint your smile each day
But I see your face is lying
All the way

Chorus
Delphine, Delphine
You think you?re never enough
Delphine, Delphine
In the silence of your laughter
Delphine, Delphine
You say you?ll never find love
Delphine, Delphine
When it?s always you they?re after

An angel paints the skies
The light is dimming on me
The sun has closed it?s eyes
On scars nobody can see
A taste of desolation
Is choking in the air
I feel your desperation
Everywhere

Chorus

Your candle?s burning low
Wish I could see you one more time
So I?d be sure you know
The way you see yourself will shape your life

Delphine, Delphine
You think you?re never enough
Delphine, Delphine
In the silence of your laughter
Delphine, Delphine
You say you?ll never find love
Delphine, Delphine
When it?s always you they?re after
Delphine, Delphine
You think you?re never enough
Delphine, Delphine
In the silence of your laughter
Delphine, Delphine
You say you?ll never find love
Delphine, Delphine
When it?s always you they?re after
