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 and

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,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 sorry look'

They talked in a whispered hush, said

'I'd turn the machines off'

But still she sat by his side

Said,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 he's 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 and

She wondered why he was still alive at all

Little Mary Epperson 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
