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
