Grapefruit were a talented late 60's British psychedelic band that formed in 1967. Given praise by the Beatles, they were signed to Apple publishing. Though making demos & recordings under Apple, the songs were never released at the time. In 1968 & 1969 they released two albums & several singles - garnering minor airplay, but 'Dear Delilah' did hit #18 in Canada. All 5 members of the band were related to or performed before or after their breakup with such artists as the Easybeats, AC/DC, Cliff Richard, Roger Daltrey, David Essex, Mott the Hoople and many others.

LYRICS: Dear Delilah
Each night when watching dying of the day
I seem to find I hardly know my way around
Even with the crowd I'm on my own
Now she's gone
I don't know if I'm lost or found
You're bringing me down dear Delilah
I can see you hanging around dear Delilah
It's hard to realize and harder to see-ee
And harder still when someone tells you
She wanted someone else that I couldn't be
You're bringing me down dear Delilah
I can see you coming around dear Delilah
Wind blown and I'm falling with the wind
Was I too fast or too slow
Or did the weather change
You're bringing me down dear Delilah
I can see you coming around dear Delilah
And when you ask me if I need her I do-ooh
But ask me why and I can't tell you
I only know that she means so much to me
You're bringing me down dear Delilah (yeh yeh)
I can see you coming around dear Delilah
You're bringing me down dear Delilah (yeh yeh)
I can see you coming around dear Delilah
You're bringing me down dear Delilah (yeh yeh)
I can see you coming around dear Delilah
