Gently, she sits in her apartment, high above the streets below and stares out the window. A lock of her hair falls in front of her face, but she cares not as her gentle eyes stay outside. A knee is pulled to her chest as she sits in the sill and she fiddles with the torn knee in it, gently pulling at the loose strands. Gently she runs her tongue over her chapped lips and blinks a few times. Swallowing down hard, she gracefully stands in her socked feet as her chains jingle on her waist. Her pale hand grips the neck of a guitar that stands against the wall and she takes it back to the window as the cool breeze flutters inside and plays about her. Although she wasn't too much good with the guitar and better with other instruments she wanted to play this... because it reminded her of him. A blush filled her cheeks as she looked down and softly played. Of course she wasn't creative enough to write a song of her own... so she sang with her beautiful voice... a song that she already knew...
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
With each lyric, she sang out as if it was what were on her heart at that very moment. She closed her eyes, letting her hand go with the guitar pick over the strings. She didn't sing loud, or obnoxious in any means... but just sang, for she knew each lyric was for real...
