Peter, Paul & Mary - Delivery Delayed Lyrics

Font:

Align:

How early is beginning?

From when is there a soul?

Do we discover living,

Or somehow are we told?

In sudden pain, in empty cold

In blinding light of day

Were given breath and it takes our breath away

How cruel to unformed fancy,

The way in which we come

Overwhelmed by feelings

And sudden loss of love

And what price dark confining

The heart is to forgive

When all at once were called upon to live

Then by giant hands were taken

From the shelter of the womb

That dreaded first horizon

The endless empty room

Where communion is lost forever

When a heart first beats alone

Still it remembers no matter how its grown

We grow, but grow apart

We live, but more alone

The more to be, the more to see

To cry aloud that we are free

To hide the ancient fear of being alone

And now we live in darkness

Embracing spiteful holds

Refusing any answers

For no man can be told

That delivery is delayed

Until at last were made aware

And first reach for love

To find twas always there

Always there.
