Adelina Testo

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
