i close my eyes
and drift away
to a far, far better place
i fall asleep
and leave you here
in the twisted sheets of love
oh it's been a scene
since you and i
have stopped talking
so all i do is dream
of a city in the south
a place i'll go to

adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go down
to christmas in the summertime
adelaide
adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go

day after day
you say a dollar saved is
a dollar earned and i
count the clocks
in our house
and add up
all our silence
oh you've got a lock
and i can't find
the key to your heart
let's take a plane
and leave this on the ground
and fly down to

adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go down
to christmas in the summertime
adelaide
adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go

how long has it been, baby
how long has it been

i close my eyes
and drift away

adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go down
to christmas in the summertime
adelaide
adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go down
to christmas in the summertime
adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go
adelaide
adelaide
adelaide
adelaide
adelaide
adelaide
i'll take you with me
when i go
