VERSE 1
GAdam's at the window, staring at the apple trees on Bmfire
GWaiting for the windfall that brings the smile of kings and their deBmsire
CDoor blows in behind him, a floral pattern, summer dress so Ggay
-------------------------
VERSE 2
D7Burning in the sunlight, too Glate to wait
D7For darkness won't delay to Gsteal her cherry lips away
For Emwhile the careless Bmtongues of sunlight Cslowly trickle Gdown
The Ccurve of hips, her Bmfingertips, in Amkissing sips we Ddrown
In kissing Csips we drown
-------------------------
CHORUS
And DAdam Cwill Ghave his Dway
         C          GG*    D  G  
Adam will have his way
-------------------------
VERSE 3
Adam's on the island, living in the land of Bmlove
GShadows lurk around him, drunk on the royal jelly of pure Bmlove
CFull and ripe, the fruit hang, for when the prince arrives he will want Gmore
-------------------------
VERSE 4
And D7more and more he'll drink from the Gcanvas cup
The D7son of a swan will Gthen lose his plumera
And Emhe will wear a Bmnew-age suit and Chaunt the joints in Gtown
And Cplay the silver Bmmagic flute and Amcall his lovers Ddown
And call his Clovers down
-------------------------

Adam's at the easel, painting in the wrinkles and the Bmgrey
GWaiting for November, easy with the darkness of the Bmday
CSmiles a tear of gladness, and Adam's at the window once aGgain

VERSE 6
He's D7burning in the sunlight, too Glate to wait
For D7darkness won't delay to Gsteal her cherry lips away
