the last time i saw adrianne

oh the last time i saw adrianne

she sang about the seasons

and what i can't seem to do

she can

the eternal's moving in her hands

and i knew her singing signaled spring

and whirring my heart pounds

for all the want and doubt are now upon me

and i hear it in the sounds

of all the rain and all the baseball games

that it rains out

in the garden by the blooming trees

ants swarm the peonies

and i took a look at lolo's knees

as she sneezed up at the sun

and i thought her sneezing signaled - something

i don't know

for all the want and doubt are not behind me

though i blamed it on the snow

is it all the sweetness of the bacchanals that i'll never know?

and i look outside

at the storm forming o'er the lake

i could not hide

even in this wallpaper shirt

is it all the sweetness?

is it all the sweetness?

and whirring my heart pounds
