No Risk

about

This was another ditty about the doomed A.M. romance. The clumsy leaf metaphor must have had some shared significance that I don't remember. Otherwise it's simply an utterly absurd lyric. Though if you psychoanalyze the song, it does make a little sense. My whole self-sabotaging courtship of her could be compared to sticking dead matter in a glass bottle, planting it, and somehow expecting it to grow like a fertile seed. I must have subconsciously known this.

lyrics

I buried a leaf
In a bottle, in the soil
Love me, Adrienne, love me
Risk it all and love me

There really is no risk at all

Grow, little leaf, grow
Blossom and burst from the soil
Grow like a seed, burst from her heart
With words of romance
Spoken for me

There really is no risk at all

Fall, fall so far, so deep
Really no risk at all
Like the one you shall keep
When I fall, I fall so deep
There really is no risk at all

Buried in a bottle, in the garden, in the soil
Placed in a box and wrapped in foil
Love me, Adrienne, love me
Risk it all and love me
There really is no risk at all
