Summertime Songtext
von Ferlin Husky

Come home, come home it′s suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We′re going home at last

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play when evening shadows come
Then winding down an old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun


Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Are woven around suppertime
When my mother used to call from the back steps
Of the old home place
"Come on home, Furlan, it's suppertime"
What I wouldn't give to hear that once more

But for me, time has woven the realization
Of a truth that′s even more thrilling
And that′s when the call comes from the portals of glory
To come home, for it's suppertime
When all of God′s children shall gather around the table
With the Lord at the greatest suppertime of them all

Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it′s suppertime
We're going home at last
