When the Sun Comes Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Another day o' cloudy skies Feelin' low an' I don't know why, I Guess it shouldn't be news to me now It's been this way for centuries, but I'm holdin' out I heard from legends and crystal balls Sun gave warmth to the great and small I saw the smiles good old ray put on their face It ain't too much to want gentle grace This pessimism brings my brain a schism, splittin' up my mind But I know before too soon I'll find Footsteps on my porch of ultraviolet kind [Chorus] When the sun comes knockin' on my door And after I pick my jaw off the floor I'll say, "Come in stranger! It's been too long a while" He'll hang up his hat with a radiant smile I'll ask where he's been for all of these years Wе'll talk about his travels over two or three beers I'll hang on evеry word, lookin' forward to brighter days When the sun comes back to stay [Verse 2] Maybe he just read the sign wrong Or fell asleep waitin' on his train And the Galaxy Express takes a century, no less To come back round our way, again Everyone says you're gone, but I know you're only late I'll leave the lights on, if you reciprocate Just promise you're back and we won't get burned You'll be the prodigal sun as far as I'm concerned [Chorus] When the sun comes knockin' on my door And after I pick my jaw off the floor I'll say, "Come on in, stranger! It's been too long a while" He'll hang up his hat with a radiant smile I'll ask where he's been for all of these years We'll talk about his travels over 2 or 3 beers I'll hang on every word, lookin' forward to brighter days When the sun comes back to stay [Outro] Come on back baby, we miss you
