Lyrics

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, she gave her body
But he did not take her hand
And her heart broke softly, oh
Now she's a bird with a 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 a 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 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
