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)
