CAPELIN TIME
(Songwriter??)

In Boston Town an old man died one day,
Dreaming of his home so far away.
He must have known his words were all in vain.
Oh take me home when it’s Caplin Time again.
 
Chorus:   I wanna go back when it’s Caplin time again.
                 I want to walk in the softly falling rain,
                And hear again the lonely sea gulls cry.
                Oh take me home once more before I die.
 
I must have heard these words a thousand times,
Not even caring what was on the old man’s mind,
As he told tales of his boyhood on the sand,
When twas Caplin Time back home in Newfoundland.
 
And he vowed each year that he would soon return,
But times were bad and money must be earned.
Now the years have gone like the softly falling rain;
He can’t go back when it’s Caplin Time again.
 
Chorus
 
And now I stand where he once stood before,
With silver Caplin splashing on the shore.
I pray to God he can somehow understand;
I took him home, back home to Newfoundland.
 
Chorus (Repeating last line at end)
