Early Grayce

Some day me and Adele be walking down the road and we'll see your book and we'll buy it and put it on our coffee table.

The speaker imagines buying the listener's book with Adele and putting it on their coffee table. It is a concrete picture of future recognition: the book will be noticed, purchased and given a place at home. The words leave its eventual reading unstated.
