| Lyrics: | Adrian came home again last summer.
Things just haven't been the same 'round here.
(Chorus)
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."
(Chorus 2)
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.
(Chorus 3)
But still he did
not move
And the doctor said it's no use.
Oh, Adrian, come out and play.
(Bridge)
And she sat by his side
And watched the years fly by.
He looked
so fragile, he looked so small
And 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,"
(Chorus 4)
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."
(Chorus
5)
But he just sits and stares.
He's awake but still not there.
Oh, Adrian,
come out and play.
(Bridge)
And little Mary Apperson grew up lovely,
And she still comes to visit him on Sundays.
(Chorus 6)
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
'round here |
