adrian Lyrics

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 the 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

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
