And how have you been, my darling children
While I have been away in the west?
Though you are strangers, I feel like I know you
By the way that you treat me and offer to feed me
And eagerly ask if I'll stay for a rest
ย
And sit yourselves down in a pile laid before me
I wish I had presents for each of your smiles
But I have been travelling without much to carry
Just a broken guitar case with tape on the sides
To hold up a few signs to help me get rides
ย
And here is a strange European guitar string
I found on the floor of a club in Marseilles
It's fat for the third string and skinny for the fourth string
But I kept it in hopes I might need it some day
It's funny how people just keep things that way
ย
And here is a turtle from the Long Island Expressway
He says that his home has been covered with tar
So I gave him a ride on the back of my suitcase
And he says that wants to live here in your yard
At long last, his short life won't be quite so hard
ย
And how have you been, my darling children
While I have been away in the west?
Though you are strangers, I feel like I know you
By the way that you treat me and offer to feed me
And eagerly ask if I'll stay for a rest
ย
And how have you been, my darling children?
