Sweet Adeline - Elliott Smith

Cut this picture into you and me

Burn it backwards, kill this history

Make it over, make it stay away

Or hate’ll say the ending that love started to say

There’s a kid a floor below me saying «Brother, can you spare

Sunshine for a brother, old man winter’s in the air»

Walked me up a story, asking how you are

Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star

Sweet Adeline

Sweet Adeline

My Clementine

Sweet Adeline

It’s a picture-perfect evening and I’m staring down the sun

Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done

Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head

Or any situation where I’m better off than dead
