Lyrics
ADIOS: (A. Young) If you think back far enough/ a boy can seem pretty small/ wrapped in his baby blanket in Berkeley/ his tiny hands the size of a ping pong ball/ but fast forward eighteen years/ to the bear hug arms of a young man try not to stare/ he knows with a glance what time it is/ maybe it's just not fair/ that he's got the world on a string/ and it's a downward pull/ but fate has been kind to him/ and fate is no fool/ so let's watch him throw a pot or two/ in size fine lines/ fire bisque or raku/ a jammer, a listener a singer of a song/ no one can say that with music/ he isn't well fed/ cause music lives like a monarch inside his head/ where it's all good/ if it ain't all wrong/ and it's all wrong/ it's all wrong/ it's all wrong/ and from the moment you arrive/ they're under your spell but they still can't see/ that you are shooting for the stars/ making your own day/ writing your own play/ cause when it's love from the start/ it's going to be okay/ it's going to be okay/ yeah it's going to be okay...someday/ so as you move up and out/ say adios and sail away/ may the pounding of your heart fill the impossible day/
