| Adrian came home again last summer
|
| Things just haven’t been the same around here
|
| And people talk and people stare
|
| Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
| An unfortunate accident in a canoe
|
| Doctor said, I’m sorry, not much I can do And the air was so still and his eyes, they did not blink
|
| Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
| Little Mary Epperson liked him
|
| And she vowed always to watch after him
|
| But still he did not move and the doctor said it’s no use
|
| Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
| She sat by his side and watched the years fly by He looked so fragile, he looked so small
|
| She wondered why he was still alive at all
|
| Everyone in town had that I’m so sorry look
|
| They talked in a whispered hush, said I’d turn the machines off
|
| But still she sat by his side, she said, life he won’t be denied
|
| Oh Adrian, come out and play
|
| Yellow flowers decorate his bedroom
|
| Sign above his door says Welcome Home
|
| But he just sits and stares
|
| He’s awake but still not there
|
| Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
| She sat by his side and watched the years fly by He looked so fragile, he looked so small
|
| She wondered why he was still alive at all
|
| And little Mary Apperson grew up lovely
|
| And she still comes to visit him on Sundays
|
| He’s like an unused toy
|
| He’s got big hands but the mind of a little boy
|
| Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
| Adrian came home again last summer
|
| Things just haven’t been the same around here |
