Adelaide Lyrics by Flora Algera

Once Upon a Time in the West

2024

'99 in autumn rain, Isabella's daughter came
She named her Flora May, for she ascended a Taurus reign
'05 and her maiden name was swept away by a hurricane
Father knew she'd never be the same, but she tried her best with what he gave
Why so cold in Santa Fe?
Why'd my daughter run away?
"Thought I gave her the greatest stay"
Was what Isabella sayed
Flora wanted to be a martyr, never wanted to have a daughter
She cursed her mother's name, but then came Adelaide
Oh what a perfect name, she no longer cared for fame
None of that mattered anyway, to Adelaide
Oh what a precious child, greatest blessing of my life
Got grandma's hazel eyes, Adelaide
Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide
Adelaide
Flora gave her the west coast life she always wanted as a child
Fell in love with Addie's mind, figured she knew better
Than to step outside
But Addie wanted something more
Though her mother, she adored
Took trips to the eastern shore
Grandma gave her a locket that she wore
With pride, Isabella cried
Addie gave her a purposed life
Flora May was shocked to find that Addie took it in her stride
She ventured to New York, she saw Isabella more
Addie's heart was worn and torn
She called Flora May on the telephone
"You gave me a perfect name, I'm so sorry I couldn't stay
But grandma loves you just the same as Adelaide
Flora May, you are my life
What an angel, what a guide
But Isabella can't be saved without Flora May"
Flora May, Flora May, Flora May, Flora May, Flora May, Flora May
Flora May
And I'm broken in pieces without Adelaide
Broken in pieces, never be the same
Broken in pieces, get on a plane
Go to the home from which I needed escape
And I said:
"Oh what a perfect name
Isabella, you are praised
You came in and you took care of Adelaide
She needs her mother now
I was lost, but now I'm found
Just promise you won't go away, for Adelaide"
And Isabella said:
"Flora May, you're a precious child
Greatest blessing of my life
I'm ashamed I didn't come to find it 'til Adelaide"
Oh what a perfect name
Flora never wanted fame
With Isabella's love and light
And Adelaide
Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide
Adelaide
I was broken in pieces without Flora May
I was broken in pieces without Flora May
I was broken in pieces without Flora May
Broken in pieces
