about

This is a song about going home.

lyrics

Adelaida, adelaida
You're so pretty and so fine
Won't you meet me in the courtyard
While the stars above us shine

I'll return under the moonlight
But I can't afford to stay
Adelaida won't you wait
Wait for me

I've been down under the briars
I've been thrown onto the rocks
I've spent so much time alone
That all the trees began to talk

But now I'm on the road
That leads me back to your front gate
Adelaida won't you wait
Wait for me

I'm a great wind
I'm a storm cloud
Sweeping over
All this snow
I'm a love song
This very love song
Coming home
Coming home

see the moon covered up
with fingerprints up in the sky
i've got quite a way to go
but i'll fail if i don't try

i see the smokestack by the rail track
sending shivers through my bones
calling me home
calling me home
