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



REFRAIN

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
