Adrian (Demo)

It cleared up

Are you ready?

(Yeah, it's recording) Oh

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

The 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 stood 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"

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

A sign above his bed says, "Welcome Home"

He just sits and stares

He's awake but really not there

Oh, Adrian, come out and play

She stands by his side, and watched the years fly by

She looked so fragile, he looked so small

And he wondered why he was still alive at all

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

Adrian, come out and play

Adrian came home again last summer

Things just haven't been the same around here
