[Verse 1]
The wisteria on the back veranda is still blooming
And all the great aunts are either insane or dead
Kensington Road runs straight for a while before turning
We lived on the bend, it was there I was raised and fed
[Pre-Chorus]
Counting and running as I go
Down past the hedges all in a row
[Chorus]
In Adelaide, Adelaide
Adelaide, Adelaide
[Verse 2]
Dad's hands used to shake, but I never knew he was dying
I was thirteen, I never dreamed he could fall
And all the great aunts were red in the eyes from crying
I rang the bells, I never felt nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Cannot bring him back again
[Break]
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
The wisteria on the back veranda is still blooming
And all the great aunts are either insane or dead
Kensington Road runs straight for a while before turning
We lived on the bend, it was there I was raised and fed
[Pre-Chorus]
Counting and running as I go
Down past the hedges all in a row
[Chorus]
In Adelaide, Adelaide
Adelaide, Adelaide
[Verse 2]
Dad's hands used to shake, but I never knew he was dying
I was thirteen, I never dreamed he could fall
And all the great aunts were red in the eyes from crying
I rang the bells, I never felt nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Cannot bring him back again
[Break]
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
