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
