The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you want me,
I'll come knockin'
At your door,
At your door,
One of these days now,
You'll be rockin',
You'll be rockin',
In my arms once more.
Buddy I'm late again,
I'm late again,
I'm late again,
Show me a wonder
that you can't be sure of;
Now it's wait again,
It's wait again,
It's wait again,
Show me a picture,
Of the one you love.
When you want me,
I'll come knockin'
At your door,
At your door,
One of these days now,
You'll be rockin',
You'll be rockin',
In my arms once more.
But it was Christmas time,
It was Easter time,
It was summertime,
Sail away, sail away
To your daddy's garden;
Now it's wintertime,
It's wintertime,
It's wintertime,
And it's much too late
to ask your pardon.
When you want me,
I'll come knockin'
At your door,
At your door,
One of these days now,
You'll be rockin',
You'll be rockin',
In my arms once more.
