Delilah says to her angel there's three of us at the wheel
Me, you, and your death wish
It's a love triangle it's a dangerous deal
Me, you, and your death wish
He's had a hard road to travel
He's got memories to lose
Can we go out into the desert where he can't find us
He's like Amboy at midnight
A ghost town with the blues
I an hear his boot heels crunching in the gravel behind us
I love the feel of your sorrow the scars on your skin
We could heal by tomorrow if love would take us in
But it won't take him, your death wish
Delilah says to her angel kick him out of the car
Drop him off at the truck stop in Pomona
Set him up with a stranger set him up at a bar
By the time he figures out we'll be in Arizona
I love the feel of your sorrow the scars on your skin
We could heal by tomorrow if love would take us in
But it won't take him, your death wish
Angel says to Delilah
Well you know you might be right
But I feel just like I'm dying
With you holding on to me so tight
So drop us off at the train yard drive on through the night
You'll be deep in the desert by dawn's early light
I love the feel or your sorrow the scars on your skin
But I'll be gone tomorrow if love should take us in
'Cause it won't take him, my death wish
Me, you, and your death wish
It's a love triangle it's a dangerous deal
Me, you, and your death wish
He's had a hard road to travel
He's got memories to lose
Can we go out into the desert where he can't find us
He's like Amboy at midnight
A ghost town with the blues
I an hear his boot heels crunching in the gravel behind us
I love the feel of your sorrow the scars on your skin
We could heal by tomorrow if love would take us in

Of all Eliza Gilkyson's wonderful music, this is not one of her better songs.

Edit: not my favorite but it's a staple of RP so I'm good with it.

Got a Bob vibe.

I think this has more to do with living in the same country in the same era. Both are excellent, in my estimation. I have seen both in concert and will do so again as soon as feasible.
Does she pay Lucinda Williams royalties?

Good solid sound, makes me think at Patty Smith in her 'Horses'-days. Compliments from Amsterdam, Holland.
Sounds good A little Blues flavour there, for sure.
Compelling voice. Just great1

this is outstanding. i dearly love a nod to the death wish in the morning. also reminds me, oddly, of hearts and bones - paul simon.
more important, i can hear dylanish riffs, and in fact would not mind hearing mr. dylan sing it, with or without ms. gilkyson. Damn her name is hard to spell. oh well, hope to see more of it.

I for one can appreciate the tongue-in-cheek nature of this comment. Those that are offended by it either don't get the dark humor or find the comment cuts a little too close to the bone for their comfort.

Oh, come on, spacemoose - you KNEW a response like that would draw fire. I agree that it's a bit over-the-top (and true) in relation to the comment for which it was a response, but something tells me there's a lot more of an undercurrent than what ended up in your comment.
jelani, calling someone an "idiot" just because they post a comment with which you don't agree is, in my opinion, childish and dismissive. As is my response to you:
Ahem. Having said that, I'ma go hug a tree, donate my last five bucks to Animal House Shelter and Sanctuary, and have a shot of Bacardi while sitting in my garden, soaking up a little of the rare autumn sunshine.

Saw her a few years ago, opening for Loudon Wainwright III. Actually liked her better than Loudo, but he is definitely an acquired taste anyway. She was amazing as always. She wears her folkie-pinko-hippie-liberal heart on her sleeve, so she's not everyone's cuppa, but hey.

I love this song! First heard it on another alternative station, KPIG, which stopped broadcasting in our area. Anyway, Eliza has become one of my favorite alternative/folk/blues/ singers. I recommend her song "The Great Correction" if you want to blow all your candles. Thanks RP for playing her again.
Never heard Eliza here on RP, yesterday i bought the album Red Horse by Red Horse. Eliza is one of the three masterminds behind that production... Amazing!!!
Ooooh - what would really go well after this is Shirley Manson's "Sampson and Delilah." Powerful stuff.
Just saw her at Blue Rock Studios in Wimberley, Texas a few weeks ago. What a venue (look it up) and what a voice! (and songwriter!!)
Oh, and she just bought a house here!

Eliza Gilkyson by *NezumiWorks
Kelseigh Nieforth ©2005-2010 *NezumiWorks
Live at the Library & Archives Canada, Ottawa, September 5, 2005.
Eliza was amazing. Not having her band, she was given the freedom of a lone woman with a guitar on a bare stage. She dispensed with her format and simply played whatever songs she liked, in whatever order she liked. Between, she joked with audience members, told rambling stories about places she'd been and people she'd known, and made a close bond with all of us in so doing. She even took requests! If I ever had doubts about Eliza being a superior artist, they were put to rest that night.

Thanks for playing more Eliza!! I love every song she sings/plays.
This song grabs me, and I like her vocals on it.
However, upon checking out the album as a whole, I like her vocal quality and the lyrics less.
I still really like the base feel of many of the songs, though.

She might hate it but my first thought is when I heard this was: Marianna Faithfull?. In the mean time I bought the album, by using the Amazon click as to generate revenue for RP. The album is nice but Angel and Delilah is the best song of it. The rest is too much "folky" for me. If you like folk, go check it out!

Nice lyrics to this number, and a very nice rendition.
Whoa stop the post modern drivel! Take note: anyone who is honest about it can tell whether a chick is singing during a certain era; you can hear a distinct difference between the voices of the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and so on. Why? I don't know. The timbre, inflection, and overall quality are distinct to the decade. The same applies to guy voices.
Yep to that. You either like it or you don't...................
Nice lyrics to this number, and a very nice rendition.

My position is that since the 1980s guys have not been in the same league with the female artists. They have that 80s, 90s, etc quality of voice; but I know who my favorite chicks are just the same. Yes the guys all sound alike to me-just plain bad!

Now SHE has a different voice from many other female singers. I really feel so many sound just alike.
Nice track. IMHO.

Check for her to come through Austin- she's there a lot. I don't remember her playing in Houston. Sad that big ole city is so short on live music...
Wow. How the hell did I miss her?
This is great stuff.

Hey, she looks the image of a woman I went out with for 3 years, who was 13 years older than me and seriously feckin' HOT! A 'MILF' well before the term was invented :o). This is a fine number, and well worth an initial 7 from the Nottingham jury, likely rising on future hearings.

Saw her opening for Richard Thompson. Great (if short) set.
She was playing solo (as was Richard) but had a lot of power and passion. Definitely worth the effort to see her live if you can.

She is someone's mother: her drummer's! She's also the daughter of Terry Gilkyson...
This is in one word - AWESOME!

The daughter of a very famous songwriting father, talented in her own right.
I'm getting pretty much milquetoast.

I was getting more Joan Osborne.
Nice guitars, good voice...I like it.

My first thought on hearing this is that it must be a cover of a Michael Penn song that I've not heard before.
Interesting track indeed.
Of all Eliza Gilkyson's wonderful music, this is not one of her better songs.
I guess you never really absorbed the lyrics.
