I created this song based on Civil War era song laments. Then finding the pristine photo from the era, that I used for the cover art was extra magic! She became my Delia

lyrics

Delia

CHO
Delia – Pray for me – while I am fighting in the war

Oh Delia – remember me – if I should fall and be no more


As we march along our way
The trees above us stand and pray
The cannon roar – the bugles blare
The haze and smoke – hides death's stare
CHO

The battle cry rattles the bones
We stiffen in the sun alone
Our wounds congeal – the blood grows cold
We lie in peace – our story told
INST

Our last day together
Was warm and bright
We fell together in the heather
The fragrance of your hair filled the night

CHO
Delia – dream of me
You know how much I love you
Delia – remember me
If I should die and fade away
If I should die and fade away
