Come in old friend, and rest here a while
For you look tired and torn so relax and cherish this time
For your journey must have been a long one, after all those miles
Through the valleys, and countless mountains, you had to climb
I pray your trip was a good one, and each step you found worth while
For you were guided by the love of god and watched over every mile
Folks here have missed you and your stories, they seem to make them smile
Your friendship and kindness are one thats a blessing, like the love of a child
Put your feet up by the fire, let the heat warm your bones
Let the crackling sooth your spirit and the flames, calm your soul
For your travels have ended and you are now safe, and no longer alone
Let the angels hold you tightly and shelter you from the nighttime cold
For today has ended and tomorrow will be here so very soon
A new sun will shine, while the northwest winds blow on through
For now, dream your dreams safe and warm from the stormy sky
For its time to say goodnight to your troubles and for today, say goodbye
Come on in old friend and rest here a while
For your journey must have been long one, after all those miles
Put your feet up by the fire, let the heat warm your bones
For your travels have ended and you are now safe, so let me say, welcome home
