Adelaide

The house is cold; the rent's not paid My shoes won't tie, and my bed's not made I hum a tune, and I hate it so I lay down on the kitchen floor I pull the shade and close my eye Dream of a perfect alibi Adelaide, are you coming back to me? Just like a stranger I left behind Somewhere lost in the Georgia pine Never close, but always near The loudest cry I could not hear You crossed the river, you found at last On a bridge you built from a broken past Adelaide, are you coming back to me? Adelaide, hear me call your name I'm so ashamed, Adelaide That I learned how to love, and I learned how to pray On the day that he came and took you away The house is cold; the rent's not paid My shoes won't tie, and my bed's not made I hum a tune, and I hate it so I lay down on the kitchen floor I pull the shade and close my eyes Dream of a perfect alibi Adelaide, when are you coming back to me? Adelaide, hear me call your name I'm so ashamed, Adelaide That I learned how to love, and I learned how to pray On the day that he came and took you away Oh, Adelaide You just got to have Just a little bit, of understanding this time Cause I love you Hear me crying Adelaide, Adelaide Hear me crying Adelaide, Adelaide Are you coming back to me? You coming back? Are you coming back to me? Adelaide, are you coming back?
