John Cale - Adelaide lyrics

I want to go home, I want to go home

I want to go back to Adelaide

It' s time for a change, don't want to be late

It's probably night in Adelaide

In a day or two, I'll be there asking for you

To come back to Adelaide with me

The weather there is so good.

So pass me the phone, I'll go it alone

I'll whistle my way to Adelaide

There's no time to cry, I'll be there tonight

The trains and the boats and planes are on time.

But before I go, I'm knock-knocking on your front door

Be sure to say good-bye to your friends

And to all my friends back home.

But before I go, I'm knock-knocking on your front door

Be sure to say good-bye to your friends

And to all my friends back home.

Oh, Adelaide, Adelaide, I want you tonight

Adelaide, Adelaide, I want you tonight
