lyrics

Delilah
by Keith Abbott

Oh Delilah
You never really had the hold on me
For long before my hair were long
It were spoken on the breeze
Oh tie me to a millstone
Call me as you please
Though I no longer have eyes for you girl
My stone heart is also no longer to be seen

All the chords are unwound unwound
As I see all I found pleasin' come down come down
Oh sweet Jesus I am found I am found
And all the chords are unwound unwound

I see the reaper loomin'
O'er the foxes in the field
As I took with teeth inhuman
For the mark upon my heel
The tapestry has been woven
Fine as silk and strong as steel
So red would be the color
Of the day to be revealed

All the chords are unwound unwound
As I see all I found pleasin' come down come down
Oh sweet Jesus I am found I am found
And all the chords are unwound unwound

I subdued a lion
But you honey made me feel
The strength of you beauty
Could leave slain a thousand in a field
I worshiped at your temple
From setting sun 'til daylight was unveiled
The impression of your kiss
Like shimmering silver over destiny sealed

All the chords are unwound unwound
As I see all I found pleasin' come down come down
Oh sweet Jesus I am found I am found
And all the chords are unwound unwound
