I was a cynic long before we met I think that's how it tends to be You go around the block, that's where you get And that's how it was with you and me But there isn't a single day that passes by When I don't ask if I could've made the grade When I don't see your name and wonder why I didn't go to Adelaide
Perhaps when I was a younger man, Back when I believed in fate I would not have turned and ran, I would have known I'd found my mate I would've known this was something of a different kind I would've known I had it made I would've known when to change my mind And I would've gone to Adelaide
Woodford in the summer is a hot place In the coming weeks it got hotter still Each day I look up and I see your face Staring at me just above my windowsill I said I – I was already taken But maybe I was just afraid To leave a woman's heart forsaken If I went to Adelaide
When it's daytime where I sit For you it's usually night But every other day I still get hit By what should be a familiar sight Each time I see your name appear on my screen I feel like I've been flayed If we chat I just try not to mention How much I long for Adelaide
They say time heals everyone This is something I have come to disbelieve Because each time a new day is done I think of all the things I never will achieve Such as being the father of your child Hiking with him in a forest glade Such as having my heart beguiled By the hottest Red in Adelaide
Sometimes I wish I were a Buddhist Not just a worshipper of dirt Then I could make up for all I missed And live a life in someone else's shirt I'd live in the southern hemisphere I would be the guy who stayed Each and every day I'd hold you near In our little home in AdelaideTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
