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

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?.

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

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