Adrian came home again last summer
|
Things just haven't been the same around here
|
People talk
|
People stare
|
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
An unfortunate accident in a canoe
|
Dr. said, 'I'm sorry not much I can do'
|
The air was so still
|
His eyes did not blink
|
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
Little Mary Epperson liked him
|
She vowed always to watch after him
|
Still he did not move
|
Dr. said it's no use
|
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
She sat by his side, 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 sorry look'
|
They talked in a whispered hush, said
|
'I'd turn the machines off'
|
But still she sat by his side
|
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 he's still not there
|
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
|
She sat by his side, watched the years fly by
|
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
|
She wondered why he was still alive at all
|
Little Mary Epperson grew up lovely
|
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
