One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am aware, listening to some inner call
And swimming blindly to find myself upon your shore
What if don't find you and 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
Dela, Dela, when I'm with you
Dela, I'll burn for you
I've been waiting all my life waiting for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night
I've been waiting all my life, hoping for redemption
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
Dela, Dela, when I'm with you
Dela, I'll burn for you
A flying bird sings inside this cage that is my heart
The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
What if I could give a shape onto this ache I have for you
What if I could find my voice to speak the words that capture you?
I think I know, I think I know
Why the dog howls at the moon
Dela, Dela, when I'm with you
Dela, I'll burn for you
