Benjamin 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

    This song is likely about Lady Adelaide from A Lark Rise to Candleford.
    All I can see is Ben Gibbard sobbing over breaking up with Zooey Dechanel eating a carton of ice cream and watching a BBC drama about Victorian aristocracy.

    insipid woman who reminds one instantly of some of the hairier

    doesn't look fresh. As I am conversing with this woman, she turns
