Pieces of you
adrian
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, im 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, "its 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 sorry look / they talked in a whispered hush, said / id turn the machines off." / but still she sat by his side / said, "life he wont be denied.
oh, adrian, come out and play
yellow flowers decorate his bedroom / sign above the 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
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
oh, adrian, come out and play
adrian came home again last summer / things just haven't been the same around here
