Adrian

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (22)

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 so 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 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 And little Mary Apperson 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
