Ben Gibbard - Lady Adelaide lyrics

Lady Adelaide shows no emotion Colder than a wave in the Arctic Ocean She waited all her years for those 3 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 who she gave her body But he did not take her hand And her heart broke softly Now she's a bird with broken wing She likes the ideas of things More than what they are bound to bring Lady Adelaide And with her beauty in slow fade She is so fearful the will say That she is a bed that's been unmade Lady Adelaide
