Maggie Reilly - Adelena Lyrics

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...
