Lady Adelaide
Shows no emotion
Colder than a wave
In the Arctic Ocean
She waited all her years
For those three words
That never reached her ears
They just went unheard
Porcelain and frail
Slender shoulders
A breeze of gusty gale
Could knock her over
She knew a handsome man
Who she gave her body
But he did not take her hand
And her heart broke softly, oh
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
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
Lady Adelaide
Shows no emotions
Colder than a wave
In the Arctic Ocean
She waited all her years
For those three words
That never reached her ears
They just went unheard
