Testo Suppertime

Verse Number One:

When I was just a boy in days of childhood....
I used to play till evening shadows come....
Then winding down an old familiar pathway....
I heard my mother call at set of sun....

The Chorus:
Come home...come home...it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast...
Come home...come home...it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last.....

Verse Number Two:

One day beside her bedside I was kneeling....
And angel wings were winnowing....the air....
She heard the call for Suppertime in heaven...
And now I know she's waiting for me there....

The Chorus:
Come home...come home...it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast.....
Come home...come home...it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last.....


Verse Number Three: [spoken]

In visions now I see her standing yonder....
And her familiar voice I hear once more....
The banquet table's ready up in Heaven....
And it's suppertime upon the golden shore....

The Chorus:

Come home...come home...it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast.....
Come home...come home...it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last.....
