Adelena - Maggie Reilly

No Disney World

No world of wonder

I wonder what she’s thinking

This special girl grows beautiful

Inside a world that’s shrinking

Good night little precious

We can never tell

If you feel the hopeful kisses

There inside your shell

Endless conversations

The voices never heard

Talk Talk Talk

The empty words

Adelena Adelena

Such innocence

In this isolation

Can never be defiled

So present tense

There’s no past or future

For a secret child

Endless conversations

Voices never heard

Talk Talk Talk

The empty words

Adelena Adelena

Sometimes we cry

She doesn’t speak that language

She doesn’t sing that song

One day we’ll die

But will she feel the distance?

Oh will she know we’re gone?

She wouldn’t talk back

We tried to teach her

Wouldn’t look up

We just can’t reach her

Wouldn’t turn around

Alien creature

I take her in my arms

And this is what she feels

No past or future

And this is what she feels

Adelena…

The empty words

Adelena…

Alien creature

Wouldn’t talk back

We tried to teach her

Wouldn’t turn around

We just can’t reach her

Wouldn’t turn, wouldn’t see

Adelena…
