Dear Departed

High on the mountain

The wind blows through the pines

Crying where oh where's that gal of mine?

And down in the valley

The light of a midnight train

Slowly melts away in a cold, cold rain

Dear departed

You know I loved you well

Heaven only knows how far I fell

And sweet Delilah

I'm all by myself

Dear departed fair thee well

Oh fair thee well

Smoke off the water

It rises in the dark

And traps its lonesome hands around my heart

It does its best to drown me

I can feel it pull me down

Until I'm so lost in you I can't be found

Dear departed

You know I loved you well

Heaven only knows how far I fell

Sweet Delilah

I'm all by myself

Dear Departed fair thee well

Oh fair thee well
