Adelaide Lyrics by Diane Birch

Speak a Little Louder (Deluxe Edition)

2013

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 'cause I didn't wanna listen to you
But there’s nothing I can do 'cause 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?
'Cause now you’re broken in two
Because you let me listen to you
But there’s nothing you can do
'Cause 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?
I didn't mean to make you cry
I didn't mean to make you cry
