| We were only seventeen, summer nights and faded jeans, down in Adelaide |
| Sandy hair and windy days, hazel eyes and cabernet, down in Adelaide |
| Falling rain like tambourines, sleepless nights through windy seas, |
| down in Adelaide |
| A kiss goodbye and suddenly, I’m in Nashville, Tennessee. She’s a world away |
| Oh, it’s nine thousand nine hundred fifty seven miles away |
| And if she just picked up the phone I’d be on a plane |
| And I’d fly like the wind if I could fall into her arms again |
| But it’s tough, 'cause I’m in love and she’s in Adelaide |
| I haven’t seen her for a year, 'cause I’m in this northern hemisphere, |
| and she’s in Adelaide |
| She had to stay, I had to go, now she’s in summer, I’m in snow, a world away |
| And oh, it’s nine thousand nine hundred fifty seven miles away |
| Where I fell in love with a girl, now I’m a world away |
| She never picked up the phone, now I’m alone |
| And it’s tough, 'cause I’m in love and she’s in Adelaide |
| And oh, it’s nine thousand nine hundred fifty seven miles away |
| And if she just picked up the phone I’d be on a plane |
| And I’d fly like the wind if I could fall into her arms again |
| But it’s tough, 'cause I’m in love and she’s in Adelaide |
| We were only seventeen, summer nights and faded jeans, down in Adelaide |
