Lady Adelaide

[Verse 1]

Lady Adelaide

Shows no emotion

Colder than a wave

In the Arctic Ocean

[Verse 2]

She waited all her years

For those three words

That never reached her ears

They just went unheard

[Verse 3]

Porcelain and frail

Slender shoulders

A breeze of gusty gale

Could knock her over

[Verse 4]

She knew a handsome man

Who she gave her body

But he did not take her hand

And her heart broke softly, oh

[Chorus]

Now she's a bird with broken wing

She likes the ideas of things

More than what they are bound to bring

Lady Adelaide, 'elaide

And with her beauty in slow fade

She is so fearful they will say

That she is a bed that's been unmade

Lady Adelaide, 'elaide, 'elaide, 'elaide

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Now she's a bird with broken wing

She likes the ideas of things

More than what they are bound to bring

Lady Adelaide, 'elaide

And with her beauty in slow fade

She is so fearful they will say

That she is a bed that's been unmade

Lady Adelaide, 'elaide, 'elaide, 'elaide

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

Lady Adelaide

Shows no emotions

Colder than a wave

In the Arctic Ocean

[Outro]

She waited all her years

For those three words

That never reached her ears

They just went unheard
