Suppertime Lyrics by Smokey River Boys
Smokey River Boys 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…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…..
Tag:(spoken over the out)
Mom, it won’t be long now…
We’ll be having suppertime together
[Thanks to Robert Metzgar for lyrics]
