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
