Adelina

Adelina, you take me on
Caught your days on fire when you raised the sun
Take me higher than I can go
And you inspire more than you know

Adelina, what do you see
When your world becomes what it comes to be?
You retired your status quo
With your cherry-blossom mind, out where the greatest words are worn
And the fields where you recline, dreaming imaginary storms
I love you for the shape you make of me
The fog cradling the sea

Adelina, now, don't you mock me
With your gentle lines of California poppy
A sapphire of yellow chrome
Mustang tires on a desert road
With those revelries you make out of the silence that you mine
While the mountains stay up late, making the shadows with their pines
I love you more than syllables could show
And I'm always sad when you go

Adelina
Adelina
You take me higher
