about

In “Adrienne” we are lead back into an almost diary-like account of Laurence’s own queer awakening through the words of Adrienne Rich.

lyrics

Adrienne, we’ve been at the bar since half past ten
I think I like you but I don’t know when
To let you know

Am I just a friend? I don’t want to overthink things yet
You know I’ve been alone since god knows when
And I want to let you in

But I stumbled on my tongue
Blamed it on the barrelled rum but I
Was only high on every word you said, Adrienne
And I’ve been wondering lately
How you’ve been

6 a.m., the morning after in your twin sized bed
How the sunlight danced in reverence
And I couldn’t bear to go

Soft-spoken, you said “I dreamed you were a poem I read,
So when ya coming back to Burlington?”
I said I didn’t know

But I fumbled on my tongue
Blamed it on the barrelled rum but I
Was only high on every word you said, Adrienne
And I’ve been wondering lately
How you’ve been

So Adrienne, would you let me in?
Cause I’d do it all again
