| [00:03.65] | I was a cynic long before we met |
| [00:09.50] | I think that's how it tends to be |
| [00:13.35] | You go around the block, that's where you get |
| [00:18.26] | That's how it was with you and me |
| [00:22.25] | But there isn't a single day that passes by |
| [00:26.53] | When I don't ask if I could've made the grade |
| [00:31.64] | When I don't see your name and wonder why |
| [00:37.06] | I didn't go to Adelaide |
| [00:41.80] | Perhaps when I was a younger man, |
| [00:45.87] | Back when I believed in fate |
| [00:50.02] | I would not have turned and ran, |
| [00:54.93] | I would have known I'd found my mate |
| [00:58.92] | I would've known this was something of a different kind |
| [01:03.26] | I would've known I had it made |
| [01:07.70] | I would've known when to change my mind |
| [01:12.56] | And I would've gone to Adelaide |
| [01:33.59] | Woodford in the summer is a hot place |
| [01:37.79] | In the coming weeks it got hotter still |
| [01:42.52] | Each day I look up and I see your face |
| [01:46.53] | Staring at me just above my windowsill |
| [01:51.10] | I said I – I was already taken |
| [01:55.54] | But maybe I was just afraid |
| [02:00.70] | To leave a woman's heart forsaken |
| [02:06.18] | If I went to Adelaide |
| [02:10.92] | When it's daytime where I sit |
| [02:15.62] | For you it's usually night |
| [02:19.05] | But every other day I still get hit |
| [02:23.10] | By what should be a familiar sight |
| [02:28.00] | Each time I see your name appear on my screen |
| [02:32.18] | I feel like I've been flayed |
| [02:36.53] | If we chat I just try not to mention |
| [02:42.13] | How much I long for Adelaide |
| [03:03.59] | They say time heals everyone |
| [03:07.19] | This is something I have come to disbelieve |
| [03:12.22] | Because each time a new day is done |
| [03:16.04] | I think of all the things I never will achieve |
| [03:21.05] | Such as being the father of your child |
| [03:25.40] | Hiking with him in a forest glade |
| [03:29.95] | Such as having my heart beguiled |
| [03:35.03] | By the hottest Red in Adelaide |
| [03:40.50] | Sometimes I wish I were a Buddhist |
| [03:44.15] | Not just a worshipper of dirt |
| [03:49.20] | Then I could make up for all I missed |
| [03:53.26] | And live a life in someone else's shirt |
| [03:57.99] | I'd live in the southern hemisphere |
| [04:02.01] | I would be the guy who stayed |
| [04:07.00] | Each and every day I'd hold you near |
| [04:11.64] | In our little home in Adelaide |
