Dela (i Know Why The Dog Howls At Moon) Lyrics

One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an
answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to
throw myself upon your shore
What if I don’t find you when I have
landed
Would you leave me here to die
On your shore stranded
I think I
know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the
moon
I sing Dela, Dela ???
Dela when I’m with you
Dela Someday Lord
mamma
Someday Lord I burn for you

I’ve been waiting for you all my
life
Hoping for a miracle
I’ve been day and night
Day and
night
I’ve been waiting for you all my life
Waiting for
redemption
I’ve been waiting day and night
I burn for you

A
blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
The image of your face
comes to me when I’m alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this
ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that
capture you
I think I know
I think I know
I think I know
I think I
know

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why
the dog howls at the moon
I sing Dela, Dela ???
Dela when I’m with
you
Dela Someday Lord mamma
Someday Lord I burn for you

I’ve
been waiting for you all my life
Hoping for a miracle
I’ve been waiting
day and night
Day and night
I’ve been waiting for you all my
life
Waiting for redemption
I’ve been waiting day and night
I burn
for you

Someday Lord
Someday Lord mamma
Someday Lord I burn for
you

I’ve been waiting for you all my life
Hoping for a
miracle
I’ve been waiting day and night
Day and night
I’ve been
waiting for all you my life
Waiting for redemption
I’ve been waiting
day and night
I burn for you

Burn for you
I burn for
you
(repeat till end)
