Adelaide
I've got nothing left to burn
As I watch the picture of you
Turn to nothing
Adelaide
I’m a victim of your call
Like an engine ‘bout to stall
Up on the highway
Now I’m folded in two
‘Cos I didn't wanna listen to you
But there’s nothing I can do
‘Cos I’m a killer, too
Oh drink up child
It’s all about to fade, Adelaide
It’s gonna take a little time
To turn the water into wine
It’s gonna take a lot of cryin’
It’s gonna take your heart or mine
Is that a tear in your eye?
I didn't mean to make you cry
Adelaide
Is that trophy on the mantle
For the taking?
Adelaide
Is it easier to let
Another make your bed
Up in the morning?
‘Cos now you’re broken in two
Because you let me listen to you
But there’s nothing you can do
‘Cos you’re a sinner, too
Oh drink up child
It’s all about to fade, Adelaide
It’s gonna take a little time
To turn the water into wine
It’s gonna take a lot of cryin’
It’s gonna take your heart or mine
Is that a tear in your eye?
I didn't mean to make you cry
It’s gonna take a little time
To turn the water into wine
It’s gonna take a lot of cryin’
It’s gonna take your heart or mine
Is that a tear in your eye?
Is that a tear in your eye?
Is that a tear in your eye?
I didn't mean to make you cry
