Hello Old Friend

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
