Homecoming Melodies: Embracing the Nostalgic Essence of Supper Time
Lyrics
Many years ago in days of childhood
Reflects on childhood memories from many years ago.
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
Recalls playing until the evening shadows appeared.
Then windin' down that old familiar pathway
Describes walking down a familiar path.
I heard my mother call at set of sun
Heard mother calling as the sun was setting.
Come home, come home it's supper time
Mother's call to come home for supper.
The shadows lengthen fast
Emphasizes the quick approach of evening.
Come home, come home it's supper time
Reiteration of the call to come home for supper.
We're going home at last
Expresses the anticipation of finally going home.
Ya know, some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Cherished childhood memories are tied to supper time.
Were woven around supper time
Highlights the significance of memories linked to supper time.
When mom would come out the backsteps of the homeplace
Recalls the scene of mom inviting to come inside for supper.
And say "Come on in son, it's supper time"
Mother's invitation to her child to join for supper.
Ah, my I'd love to hear that again
Expresses a longing to relive those cherished moments.
But you know for me time has revealed a truth that's even more thrilling
Acknowledges a deeper truth revealed with time.
and that's when God himself Says come on in son, it's supper time
Compares the longing for mother's call to God's invitation.
