Adrian came home again last summer Things just haven't been the same around here 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" 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 But still he did not move and the doctor 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 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, 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 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 She wondered why he was still alive at all And little Mary Apperson 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
