Sweet Adonis Songtext
von Carole King

Waiting on tables while waiting on fame
In a city filled with numbers
They′ve forgotten their names
Like a lonely broken people
Without title, without claim
When every day's survival
Is one more night of shame (one more night of shame)
Night of shame

Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Welcome home, my old friend
I′m glad to see you made it through
Your contests once again

Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Your heart needs time to mend
Welcome home, sweet Adonis
My old friend


Hoping for the promise, staying for the show
In a world of brief advantage, the victims come and go
Oh, their faces seem so honest, their manners have such style
Oh, but when hunger means existence
There's a feast in every smile, in every smile

So welcome home, sweet Adonis
Welcome back, my old friend
I'm glad to see you made it up
That hard road once again

Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Your highway′s found an end
Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Welcome home (sweet Adonis)
Welcome home (sweet Adonis)
Welcome home (sweet Adonis)

Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Welcome home (sweet Adonis)
Welcome home (sweet Adonis)
Welcome home (sweet Adonis)
(Sweet Adonis)
