Lyrics
Adelaide (Noon Train's Rolling Nigh)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dinah, you fortress of loneliness, begging you
If I'm not tired and you're not pretty, God have mercy, I'm dying here
Who wouldn't want you blowing that horn all day?
But I just want you blowing away
Dinah, forsaken soul, my heart don't know yours anymore
Ten and counting and on your heels and crying out, "Marry me, love me for real."
Your somber smoke is something sweet
But I don't want it here 'round me
I will hold tight, that's all
Until I find paradise, that's right
I've come a long, long way just to see you Adelaide
And it's a long, long way back home
I will hold tight, that's all
What's my hand dear, to hold, to have, if it won't hold you back?
If I am careless and you are free, then why provide the cuff and the creed?
Thought you'd said I had caught your eye
But all I'm catching are callous nights
Well that noon train's rolling nigh, that's all
And I won't be at his mercy, that's right
I've come a long, long way just to see you Adelaide
And it's a long, long way back home
I will hold tight, that's all
