Smokey River Boys Lyrics
Suppertime Lyrics
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
its suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home
come home
its suppertime
Were 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 shes waiting for me there
.
The Chorus:
Come home
come home
its suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
..
Come home
come home
its suppertime
Were 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 tables ready up in Heaven
.
And its suppertime upon the golden shore
.
The Chorus:
Come home
come home
its suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
..
Come home
come home
its suppertime
Were goin home at last
..
