Lyrics
Adelaide
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.
We were only seventeen
Summer nights and faded jeans, down in Adelaide
Sandy hair and windy days
Hazel eyes and cabernet, down in Adelaide
Falling rain like tambourines
Sleepless nights through windy seas, down in Adelaide
A kiss goodbye and suddenly
I'm in Nashville, Tennessee. She's a world away
Oh, it's nine thousand nine hundred fifty seven miles away
And if she just picked up the phone I'd be on a plane
And I'd fly like the wind if I could fall into her arms again
But it's tough, 'cause I'm in love and she's in Adelaide
I haven't seen her for a year
'Cause I'm in this northern hemisphere, and she's in Adelaide
She had to stay, I had to go
Now she's in summer, I'm in snow, a world away
And oh, it's nine thousand nine hundred fifty seven miles away
Where I fell in love with a girl, now I'm a world away
She never picked up the phone, now I'm alone
And it's tough, 'cause I'm in love and she's in Adelaide
And oh, it's nine thousand nine hundred fifty seven miles away
And if she just picked up the phone I'd be on a plane
And I'd fly like the wind if I could fall into her arms again
But it's tough, 'cause I'm in love and she's in Adelaide
We were only seventeen
Summer nights and faded jeans, down in Adelaide
