Paris's 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 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 so recapture my cool
I've got stories to tell
About how I snatched the devil's catch and outran the hounds of hell
Hello old friend welcome me home again
Well I've been away but that's all over now now
Say I can stay for October now
Stay a while and see
Hello old friend welcome me home again
I know I've been away but that's all over now now
Isn't it nice to be home again
Over here it's clear
Hello friend
