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 play
