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
(chorus)
How long has it been, baby?
How long has it been?
I close my eyes
And drift away
(chorus, repeated and fade)
