Es ist schwer, einfach so ein Delling-Lied zu finden. Natürlich sind diese Lieder getarnt „unterwegs“, aber man muss sie finden und aus ihrer Verkleidung befreien. Hier also meine Version von „Close every door to me“ aus dem (wunderschönen) Musical „Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat“[1]:

Close every door to me,[2]

Hide all the world from me

Bar all the windows

And shut out the light.

Do what you want with me,

Hate me and laugh at me

Darken my daytime

And toture my night.

If my life were important I

Would ask will I live or die

But I know the answers lie

Far from this world[3]

Close every door to me,

Keep those I love from me

Children of Delling

Are never alone!

For I know I shall find

My own peace of mind,

For I have been promised

A land of my own.

Close every door to me,

Hide all the world from me,

Bar all the windows

And shut out the light.

Just give me a number

Instead of my name[4]

Forget all about me

And let me decay.

I do not matter,

I'm only one person

Destroy me completely

Then throw me away.

If my life were important I

Would ask will I live or die,

But I know the answers lie

Far from this world.

Close every door to me,

Keep those I love from me,

Children of Delling

Are never alone.

For we know we shall find

Our own peace of mind

For we have been promised

A land of our own.
