      JAMES TAYLOR - HELLO, OLD FRIEND. From WALKING MAN album.
                     Released 1974.

---------------------------------------------------------------

      Tabbed by:PJVillanueva







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.

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.

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 see.

Hello old friend, welcome me home again. 
Well, I've been away but that's all over now.
Isn�t it nice to be home again, over here it�s clear. 
Hello, old friend.
