about

Adeline - a very sad tale about a girl who gets lost in the snow while her lover searches for her, a Slim Dime original with words by Liz Williams, this is one of our all time favourite songs and we will admit to being moved to tears on a few occasions thinking about poor Ollie and Adeline.

lyrics

Adeline

Adeline lost her earring in the snow
She lost her bearings and her shoes
and now her feet are missing

Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
she might have lost her footing
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
The snow’s new fallen and I can’t see no printing

Adeline wrote a message in the snow
tread words in circles with a stick
until her hand lost feeling

Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
I’m chasing time I’m running
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
Searching round and round, can’t she hear I’m calling

Adeline fell asleep in the snow
It took her breathe away and she forgot to breathe
dreamt she heard her lover calling

Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
