A Message For Adrienne

(album: The Changing Of Times - 2002)

I tried so hard to be her day
But the night has already taken me away
I tried so hard to be her day
But the night has already taken me away

Shedding dreams under the maple tree
Where I carved your name

Nothing left, not even time
Straight reads the line

His life had reached the end
Wanting only to be loved by Adrienne

Letters explained his grief
But she would never read
His wrists would bleed
But she would never see

So he took his life at the age of 23

And she had always loved him
But he would never know
For she covered her love
Like stars cover the sky

Hiding her heart, fearing what he would find inside
Years took her away, a widow she remained
Holding him deep inside, wishing she, too, would die
Holding him deep inside, wishing she, too, would die

Time favors no one, and if we wait
We, too, can fall in love a second too late
