Sweet Adeline
Elliott Smith
[Verse 1]
Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
Make it over, make it stay away
Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Sweet Adeline
Sweet Adeline
My Clementine
Sweet Adeline

[Verse 3]
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
Write the lyrics for a rock song made in 1998, titled "Sweet Adeline", by artist "Elliott Smith".
