Hello, Old Friend

Paris' rooftops were lovely to see

Switzerland's vertical landscape

Crossed my mind's eye just now

Canada's shoreline has been calling out to me

But it's been too long a time

Since last I crossed that vast Nantucket sound,

Hello old friend, welcome me home again

Well, I've been away but that's all over now

Say I can stay for October, now,

Stay a while and play.

Little dog David, I must look like a fool

I should've remembered you'd be

Forgetting my smell, well

Give me a week or two to recapture my cool,

I've got stories to tell

About how I snatched the devil's catch

And out ran the hounds of hell

Hello old friend, welcome me home again

Well, I've been away but that's all over now.

Say I can stay for October, now,

Stay a while and see

Hello old friend, welcome me home again

Well, I've been away but that's all over now

Isn't it nice to be home again, over here it's clear

Hello, old friend.
