Lyrics: I'm a wishbone And I'm breaking Yeah, I'm wishing for Adda Lee
And the lake sings And the dogs don't They are quiet for Adda Lee Adda Lee
I`m sorry and I miss you And away, I went away Cause I wished I was away I wished I was away
A wishing well, of well wishing And Adda waves away Adda waves away
Heroine of the stars I don't know where I am But I know who you are
Adda Lee Whaaaa-oh Adda Lee
And she whispered And she left me a man For the world
Oh Adda Lee (x3)
Quotes: "'Adda Lee' is a fictitious name, but it's a real person. A person I loved very much and who is dead. Normally, I wouldn't write about a topic quite so personal, but it was a short song and it was a nice song and, for whatever reason, Adda Lee crept into it; it became a lyric and felt right at the time. It's a little ditty about a very big thing. I con't think I could ever write an epic called 'Adda Lee'." - Frank Black, VOX Issue 30, March 1993.
