When It Comes

I started up my hollow

A piece of wood to follow

A day that doesn't come to the lucky



And I realize there's tomorrow

But I would rather wallow in the rain

Than moods that seem so potlucky



Well, I'm cruisin' El Paseo

In my off-white coupe back '65

Oh, I'm cruisin' down my own street

And my hoopty says to me

You better hang on to your benchseat

I'm gonna take you for a ride



And I'll let you know

When it comes, when it comes

I'll let you know

But don't stay up for me

Don't wait up for me if I'm not home, yeah



So wait for fate to find me

A ball of string unwind me

Uncomfortable as a centerfold, yeah

And I realize you're behind me

To help and humankind me

To see my songs can be retold



Well, I'll be gone tomorrow

Yes, I'm on the road tomorrow

So, next time that I see you in school

It won't be for too long



And I'll let you know

When it comes, when it comes

I'll let you know

But don't stay up for me

Don't wait up for me if I'm not home, yeah



And I want a leather jacket

But only if I have the time

Well I'll comb my hair like Elvis

And grab an Old Gretsch '59

And you'd hardly recognize me

If you saw me from behind



And I'll let you know

When it comes, when it comes

I'll let you know (I'll let you know)

And I'll let you know, yeah

When it comes, just when it comes

I'll let you know (I'll let you know)

But don't stay up for me

Don't wait up for me if I'm not home, yeah



And I'll let you know, yeah

I'll let you know, yeah

But I'll let you know
